Re: [SM] Monitor Res Problems

[christopher]

the slots can make a difference but also the extension load order (esp. 
of the twin turbo extensions) - try a few different configs.  i have my 
card in slot B1 and i don't seem to have the problem anymore.  i 
remember though i had to try a few different configs because of my ATTO 
UW-SCSI card and an XLR8 FW/USB card (ATTO is currently in slot A1 and 
FW/USB in slot 3 (C1?))

Hello, all!
    I'm fairly new to this list, but I must say, what a wonderful 
community
you've got going here!  I'm also relatively new to the Mac scene, 
having
been a PC'er for many years.  I picked up this S900 as a set of "Mac OS
training wheels", if you will, until I've saved up enough for a 
certain G3
B&W I've got my eyes on.  I have to admit, I was totally blown away by 
the
power of what I thought was an antiquated machine with this S900!  I 
can
well imagine what kind of fun you guys are having with it accelerated. 
:)
    However, I've run into an annoying little hiccup: sometimes when I 
cold
boot, or even when I restart, I lose my set screen resolution and 
colour
depth.  I am running an SVGA monitor on a Twin Turbo card set to 
1024x768
100 Hz, millions of colours, with Twin Turbo Control Panel installed 
(note:
I was having this problem before installing the control panel, as 
well).
Occassionally, I loose this resolution when starting and it defaults to
640x480, thousands of colours, and when I check either the Monitors CP 
or
the Twin Turbo CP, no other resolution is listed as available.  The 
only way
I can fix it is to reboot while clearing the PRAM, and even then it 
often
takes a couple of tries.  Any ideas?
    Oh, one more note: the display adapter is in one of the lower 4 PCI
slots.  I've thought of moving it to one of the upper two.  Would that 
help?
    Thanks, guys 'n gals! :)
