Is X just pushing my old monitor more than the other > two? I have a G450 and Hitachi 19" combo. I've had problems like that before running at 1600x1200 where I could only get X to run it in 88Hz, but windows would happily run in the same resolution at 90Hz. Initially this gave me no problems, but suddenly the OSD would stop working when I was in X, to the point that it didn't work until I rebooted and went into windows. Then it would work for a while (in X) and it happened all over again. I had the monitor serviced as COMPUSSR wouldn't take it back after 14 days (long story short, compussr was the only place I could get the specific monitor I wanted at) of use. Took them forever to get it back to me, but it worked fine until about 3 months ago. Now it's starting to flicker when I turn it on (so bad I sometimes have to slap it to make it go away), and it's a real PITA. I have a feeling the reason why everything worked in Windows back then was because of the driver supplied by Hitachi. I wonder if someone could actually use the manufactor supplied monitor information file (for windows) to create an X config that really reflects the monitor's capabilities. Could be an interesting project. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
