You'll win the prize for "how many distros can I install per hour" at
this rate... Efficient would have been to boot the ubuntu live cd (and
to copy the X11 setup to floppy/flash had you found a suitable one).

Never ever expect satisfactory performance from any CRT monitor at the
edge of its rated specs! [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be ok though, but the only
way to make sure is to try different frequencies and watch the picture
quality degrade (also watch out for serious distortions, and check the
whole screen area, not just the centre!).

If it works satisfactorily under any OS, it's not a hardware problem.

Btw an update for that xdm problem is in the works.
