Maybe it's a case of the monitor not supporting its own spec. There was this in my /var/log/XFree86.0.log
(WW) (1280x1024,ViewSonic GS790) mode clock 157.5MHz exceeds DDC maximum 150MHz (WW) (1600x1200,ViewSonic GS790) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 150MHz I changed the line in the xf86 config file, but same result. I think I'm going to downgrade to 4.2.1-r2. Then maybe winex et al will work again. -- Stephen On Tuesday 04 February 2003 03:53 am, Paul de Vrieze wrote: > On Tuesday 04 February 2003 02:09, Stephen Boulet wrote: > > I'm getting this error when I launch a program like tuxracer (commercial > > version) or Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (but not tribes2, strangely > > enough). > > > > This message comes from the monitor itself, btw. > > > > I'm using the same options in my Xfree file as before (using nvidia's > > driver for my 32 MB geforce2). > > > > Anyone know what could be happening? > > Exactly what your monitor (with overrange protection) says.
