When the utility comes up you'll be looking at a menu list of items that can be selected. Choose "display configuration." this will allow you to configure your display. however, it sounds a lot like you're having very similar problems like I had when I bought my Phillips flat screen monitor. I was just about ready to take the darn thing back. That is until I tried the older version of XFree86. 3.3.6 I believe it was. I have a feeling though for this particular card you're going to want to try XFree86-4.1.0 with 3D accelerator for that high end vid card. Once you've gotten that installed trying setting the monitor up as a generic multi-sync refresh rate = 74hz that can do 1024 x 768 and 65 thousand colors. that should get you started. Once you've got all that working you can experiment with other color depths and stuff. -- daRcmaTTeR Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 10:05pm up 4 days, 0 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
