What's in /var/log/Xfree86.0.log ? What chip/driver is used? Does the driver haave any tuning variable for the CRT output that might have changed defaults? I had to play with my C&T card setting to get a workable display. It defaulkted to stretch mode for 640x480, and was horrid, tweaking the options fixed that, and I get 640x800 center on the screen, unstreched. -Thomas _______________________________________________ xfree86-list mailing list [email protected] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xfree86-list IRC: #xfree86 on irc.redhat.com
