Paul, it is likely that your monitor is running in interlace mode to get that resolution.
I think the right way to fix it is to look up in the manual (or the ini file, if it is legible) the horizontal refresh, verticle refresh, as well as what your video card can do, and using XF86Setup or xf86config tell X the correct values. It should generate the mode lines for you automatically. Of course, if this is what you did.... <shrug> On Sat, Sep 25, 1999 at 03:13:07PM +0800, Paul Harris wrote: > hi, > > my lovely 17" monitor has a grainy-liney appearance when in 1280x1024 > mode, however its perfectly clear under windows. i have the .ini file that > windows uses but am unsure how to set up the x11 modelines... can anyone > help? > > thanks, > Paul > > > "If you can't make it good, make it look good." > Bill Gates, 1995 > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
