Hmmm, with a 10 year old monitor I don't know if I'd be willing to chance the trial and error method of increasing your range. You might damage it if you force it beyond spec. > I dno;t know why XFree86Config says it is using VESA drivers ... i > How can i make it use ATI drivers? This should help a bit: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/firegl/readme0325.txt although RH might have a better installation guide for you somewhere. If you don't need 3D you might also consider using the radeon drivers. Just replace the vesa driver with radeon in your Device Section. Mine for instance reads: Section "Device" BoardName "RV250 If" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "radeon" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 VendorName "ATI" Option "AGPMode" "4" Option "AGPFastWrite" "True" EndSection and I use a radeon AIW 9000 card. Considering this line in your logfile: (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE] you may have to change the BoardName to R200 QL, and perhaps not use the options I do (depending on your card). Hope this helps. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
