Greetings, and Happy Easter folks, After several hours of trying to get an external monitor working with my IBM 560, I am giving up without some help. Many months ago, I think I saw a note about some "special things" that had to be added to the XF86CONFIG file, to get this working.
I have been hunting the web, but can't find the information. I got the refesh rates (hopefully correct) from www.monitorworld.com on the DELL DL1439 (14 inch, H 30-35.5khz, V 70hz) but I think XF86 is somehow "confused". The XF86Setup seems to work OK in the VGA16 server, but even running "startx" always causes flickering, multiple images. Anyone got an external monitor working on a 560, or anything close? I am *SO* anxious to see enlightenment, wmaker, gimp, etc., ultimately on at 800x600 16bpp, but I would be happy for now just Linux (X) up on a real tube! Windows 95 works OK, so I know the monitor functions with this box. I will be in great debt to anyone that can help me, Many thanks in advance, John ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
