If you need a new card, send me a private email.
i ran 19" and 21" monitors on PCI macs w/ as little as 4MB VRAM, and had no problems whatsoever in OS9. i currently run 19"+ monitors on Rage128Pro cards w/ 16MB VRAM, and have zero problems w/ 10.4.11, and i too watch DVD's full screen mode without the slightest glitch. however, video cards can go bad, and may give symptoms similar to those described. or someone may have improperly set the preferences under "monitors" in system preferences. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
