I've had no luck getting it fixed. there must be a bad mode or something for 640x480 cause it's also wavy like that when I switch to 640x480 even in 2D. THe problem originialy manifested when I put in the ranges for my monitor. My old XF86Config file from the last few years stopped working. I think some problem was introduced into the DCC or timing code. because they monitor wouldn't sync at 85 hz as it had previously. setting custom ranges for my monitor fixed the problem but the highest refresh I can get that is stable is 75 hz. I was using xfree CVS from last december (I think) on redhat 7.2. That worked flawlessly; no waviness, 85 hz refresh. I don't know what changed. I haven't really tried anything else since I got it working at 75 hz since I rarely use 3D. The whole upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3 was pretty botch in general; it was the first time I actually used upgrade rather than just installing fresh. not only did X have issues, but PAM quit working as well...which in my opinion is even more annoying... One of these days I need to just wipe my drive and install fresh. one of these days... Alex --- Chris Metzler <cmetzler@speakeasy.net> wrote: > > Hi.
