Hi,
I've been having problems with a used Apple monitor I picked up recently. I have an ATI Xpert 98 AGP card with a Tyan Trinity 400 motherboard. The monitor is model M1823, and it dates from around 1995. I'm running XFree86 4.1.0 from Debian unstable. Linux kernel 2.4.2. The problem is that the black borders on both sides of the monitor are very big (about 3 cm each side). The borders are better under Win98. On boot, the initial BIOS splash screen has the proper space on the sides, but if I go into Setup (hitting DEL) or if I let it start to boot, the margins are the same size as what XFree puts them. I assume that this is related. The initial Windows start screen is also off, but once it shows the login screen, it's better. Anyone here have ideas? My leading canidate is the DDC stuff. I try to disable it, but I can't get XFree to take my specified ModeLine. I give one a different name (1024x768m), and try to select it, but xvidtune always shows the default (1024x768). The ATI docs say that the Xpert98 supports DDC 1, 2a, & 2b, but I don't imagine that the '95 Apple monitor does. So there's two symptoms of the problem. One is how the video displays in text-mode, and the other is XFree. I'd be happy to just fix the XFree problem, but I'd appriciate any tips or thoughts or advice any of you would have.
