re dave, well, if you have a different frequency as under windows (and im sure you have under x) than you need to adjust your monitor again. same applies if you change the refresh rate for example under windows. try it ! chris Am Sonntag, 10. Juni 2001 18:58 schrieb sunbeams:

hi dave,

Hi Christian, many thanks for your email. i am not sure this is the answer as the monitor works well with windows, without any adjustment, and has done for several years. i have to keep windows for the time being as i have several applications that are not supported in linux - particularly my Creative web-cam go plus. thanks again, dave chapman, stroud uk.

i would say you should adjust your monitor, i.e. the horizontal & vertical

size.....

its normal that if you use a video mode for that your monitor hasnt been

configured before,

you have to adjust it......

Yes, to be clear, Christian is not suggesting that you adjust the actual monitor, which are fixed, but the settings for X. This should be done through sax2 (type sax2 as root) or xf86config if necessary. You can get there through YaST2.

No, I think he means adjust the monitor, just like it says. Modern monitors have memory settings. If you set your monitor for whatever set of frequencies MSWin puts out, it should remember them, even after you set up the proper display for your Linux frequencies. And it should remember those, too. Then both OS's should be OK. If I am in error, Christian will please correct me.
