The paragraph above _is_ referring to the procedure during installation. > Getting confronted with too high frequencies at the right > resolution during installation is a 100% show stopper if > you don't know some dirty tricks. It would be a show-stopper if the installer didn't let you test out the settings before proceeding. I'm _sure_ I remember this happening during installation for me in the past during installation: Default settings appear -> press "test" -> if doesn't work -> repeat until it does work. -> carry on. If I'm wrong about that, then apologies, but I don't think I'm making it up. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
