Interface? You mean AGP vs VGA? I'm using the VGA. But the VGA works fine if I start off a different HD, run through the same wires and switch. I The current machine had previously been used for a different purpose with a different HD, and I never had any problems there. The current HD was originally installed in B&W and that's where it got the OS installed. When I got a newer, faster machine I did a "musical hard drives" and all the servers moved up a notch in speed. This HD carried the problem over from a B&W. Perhaps the B&W card was only capable of small monitor sizes - it was an ATY, Rage128y with 16mb vram. Looks to me that the only difference between them is that the B&W has a 128y and the current machine has a 128Pro. And probably the ROM revision. >This card will work at the 1280 x 960, 1024 and others. > > >Odds are the problem is because of the interface not recognizing what >resolutions the monitor can handle. > RIght, and I suspect it's due to some missing piece(s) of software somewhere. -- Bill Christensen <http://greenbuilder.com/contact/> Green Building Professionals Directory: <http://directory.greenbuilder.com> Sustainable Building Calendar: <http://www.greenbuilder.com/calendar/> Green Real Estate: <http://www.greenbuilder.com/realestate/> Straw Bale Registry: <http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/> Books/videos/software: <http://bookstore.greenbuilder.com/> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
