Hi Roger Sounds like you've had a trying time of it. The config file that 'X' uses is /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 make sure that you don't have a XF86Config that it might be using instead. Start Xconfigurator and choose Generic VGA for the video card and 640x480 with 8bit colour and Standard VGA for the monitor.
If this works from this base change the monitor first, when this is working at a reasonable setting, change the video card and when this is working in 640x480, change the resolution and colour. Let's know how you get on. Robyn On Sun, 30 Dec 2001 15:54, Roger Lavoie wrote: > Thanks phil. > Just followed up on your suggestion and found > nothing at rh, at least I think > nothing.
