Try picking "monitor that will do 1024x768 @ 70" during setup. Then run it at 800x600 if that's what you want. 1024x768-70 is pretty much what any monitor will handle comfortably. It's also how windoze would run that monitor no matter what brand/model you pick from M$'s endless driver list... so let Linux do likewise. 'Correctly' setting horizontal and vertical frequencies is becoming obsolete, that's my opinion anyhow ;> -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay
