Hello Dave and Dennis:
Thanks for the email reply.
My monitor's manual says: Horiz freq 30KHz - 54KHz, Vert freq 50-100Hz.
Under the following resolutions it uses these freq:
640x480
H 43.2K
V 84Hz
800x600
H 53.6K
V 85Hz
1024x768
H 48.2K
V 59Hz
I chose the lowest sync rates. 31.5 for horiz and 50-70 for vert but still
did not work. But, I'll give it several more go's.
Again, Thanks.
edison
