Man I wish it was something as simple as anti-aliasing. I tried my little 15" Sony on here, and it looks nice and sharp. I just don't really want to work on that 15" all day.
What's getting my goat is if I boot into windows 2000 it looks great! It's only in linux that it looks like this, which is what led me to think that it had to be a refresh problem or something. I know that Shamrock made really cheap monitors, but I really don't have the money to fork out for another 19", and besides, if it's working in Microshaft Windblows then there must be a way to get it to work in X. I ran ddcprobe and the values I got were: H: 30 - 95 V: 47 - 130 so that's what I set it to in the configuration, but it didn't change anything. Thanks for your reply, I'll keep tinkering.
