Hi there,
I've just attached an old IBM P200 monitor, through a 13W3 -> PC-VGA cable, to
my Redhat Linux 9.0 box. How do I make it work with X? I've played around
with the F86Config (various resolutions, etc.) and lots of Google'ing but the
image is still jumping around the screen and in strange colours. Any
suggestions?
Cheers,
Mads

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
