hello, i am a two day old newbie to linux. i have a microtek digisync monitor with model no 1456d and a sis 305 agp card. i installed linux and when the first time it asked for card and monitor i selected generic for both types and i set resolution to 640*480 at 60hz and it worked for me. and things were working pretty fine. then i found a little problem. some windows become larger than the screen and i cannot resize them to fit to screen. a typical example was in the mandrake control centre i had this window manager config subsection and under that there was a miscellaneous section. once i click this ,my control centre window resizes itself to be larger than my screen. and i cannot possibly in any way click on the ok or cancel button on the bottom of that window so i have to do a kill app to close it. so i thought i need to change some thing some where so tried to change my card in the config to sis( the nearest thing i could get was sis 300 ) and for monitor i tried to the generic monitor with higher resolution.( i dont have to manual for the monitor so dont know the resolution and freq) now the problem happened that when it says test and got that dolphin foto. and when i say yes to the question "do you see the pic correctly" the screen goes crazy. like what happens is that the image of pinguins sort of freezes with some vertical spilts in the image and thats it if i hit any kbd key i hear beep sounds and system hangs. now i need to know how to configure my card and monitor. the microtek web site is not usefull enough so can u sugest me where i can find info on this.
