I'm sorry to forget those version numbers. I'm running Debian/sid with the prerelease 4.2 debs. They seem to work fine, since I get a picture and everything is detected, etc. . So right now everyone thinks it's the video card + bad modeline. But it can be fixed if I can fiddle with the modeline a bit? I am right now just using the ones that 4.2 hands to me -- I tried looking to see if they were stored in a file, but no avail there, must be compiled in. I'm going to look for that manual for my monitor and try some modelines based of that. (If I can find it). Thank you for the help (very, very much). -Gryn (Adam) On Thu, Oct 03, 2002 at 11:45:38AM -0700, Lionel Lecoq wrote: > 1. 7500 have given a few problems, you should use google on the list archives, it will uncover a > few hints (I don't have a radeon my main interest being image processing I use Matrox for their 2D > quality) > 2.
