Having some bad lines on my 17" monitor I have sent it for repair. No big problem because I have two reserve monitors of unknown types, thought to be at least vga. Connecting the one with a color screen I had a not very clear image but it ran fine with most DrDos programs. Only with arachne I had a no go. No readable screen. Booting up Linux I got unreadable screens untill I arrived at the GUI (KDE3) where I had a acceptable screen. Not very clear but with a bigger lettertype I could survive. Suddenly the images vanished (thought it was in sleeping mode) and found out that there was no image any more. Back to reboot and also in boot and Drdos I had nothing. Seems ready for repair. My black and white screen was the next to be connected and that lasted only for two hours before that one was gone. Both monitors are beleived to be vga, I ran them in the lowest possible frequencies possible and on both screens I could not get arachne running.
I hope to get my monitors repaired fast and be up and running next week on my machine. (It is a problem to even do your email on a XT if you are accustomed to a much faster machine). I would like to know if it is possible to get details of a monitor without having access to a supplier. Both monitors are of unknown producers and I have not been able to get any details about their capabilities. On the backside are only the usual warnings and assurances. Nothing which could help to define the details which could help to avoid burning them out.
