Don't ever plug in a monitor bigger than 17" in a card that is less than

That used to happen to me when I had my 23" dell plugged into my ATI rage
128 pro card. 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.

I ran my 19" Mitsubishi CRT on my beige G3 (OS 9.2 and 10.3) with IIRC 6MB VRAM, and then on my Sawtooth (10.4) with the stock card in it without problem.

It's currently on my (Leopard) dualG5 @ 1344 x 1008 - 75Hz although the G5 has a 256MB 9650 in it.

I'm passing the G5 next week to Best Beloved, and I've got her a Samsung 2050 LCD to save on desk space.
