Hi Larry, I am in the same boat. I have an old PowerMac 8500 that has onboard video (one of two Ati choices, but I can't tell which exactly) and an even older fixed res. display (it's a Sony Trinitron, but it has the Apple video connector, DB-15, I believe) 832 x 624. In trying to use this beautiful monitor, I played with the GUI settings for video (XFree in Mandrake 9.1) and messed things up (I was using a peecee monitor (MegaImage 15", not supported) with a Viewsonic Mac video adapter at 640 x 480 just to install). If you can point me in the right direction - how do you obtain the proper settings and how do you enter them in text mode (I cannot access the Xserver in either text mode or graphical, e.g. KDE). I have tried the following website to obtain settings, but was not successful, maybe you will be: <http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl> Best George --- larry kelly <larrykelly335@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > to whoever it may concern > > I have a Digital model 3100 with a Pentium at 200 > mhz with MMX technology. > The video card is built in > and it is > integrated S3 Trio 64v2/GX > PCI 64 bit graphics accelerator > with one MB SDram standard, upgradeable > to two MB ram > supports 1600 x 1200 @ 75 hz > > the monitor is a Thakral Brothers Monitor model > "Orion" > Type FST Dot Pitch 0.27mm > > CRT type FST > l Max resolution 1280 X 1024 non-interlaced > Horizontal frequency 30 - 70 khz > Vertical frequency 50 - 160 khz > Dotrate 110 mhz > Power management VESA DPMS > > I went threw every setting possible to try to get > the X Server going. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
