Hello all, I know flat monitors were just discussed on this list and it so happens I just bought me a 17' ProView flat screen yesterday and all seems to work great except for 1 thing. The monitor can do 1280x1024. The Horizontal Freq for this monitor is 31 - 80KHz and the Vertical Frequency is 60 - 75KHz. I set the monitor up as "a monitor that can do 1280x1024 @ 76Hz", and I set the vertical sync as 50-70 and use a resolution of 1024x768 in 16bit mode. The problem is often times I can see lines going through my text at certain points on the screen. this problem is most noticable when I have a light background, such as in Kmail with a white background. does anyone know how I can remedy the problem. Should I change the mode I am using? Thanks David M.

I don't know the exact solution to your problem, it could very well be a problem with the X drivers, but I just have to ask this If you have the specs for your monitor, why on earth would you set X to use the wrong numbers??? That's just asking for problems! regards Anders

WoW! I can barely fit a seventeen-inch and a fourteen-inch side-by-side on my desk. What kind of desk does it take to fit seventeen feet?!?! ;)

Have you ever owned an aperature grille type display before? If you're talking about the two horizontal lines at about one-third and two-thirds down the screen, I'd bet my next paycheck that you're seeing the degaussing wires. There is no fix for this; every aperature grille display exhibits the same problem. Such is the price for progress. :) -- -=|JP|=- Need a good geek? I'm unemployed!

When it suits me. :) I tell the truth except when I lie, too... Smacking this thread back on-topic with large hammer, it appears that we don't have comments from David M. back yet. Though all of the input coming from other people pointing their fingers at a mismatched video card, we don't know what kind of lines he's talking about yet. If there are only two, and they're always in the same place, I'm right. If there are "jaggies" at every verticle line drawn, they're probably right. -- -=|JP|=- Need a good geek? I'm unemployed!

I would say, speaking from someone who has exactly the same problem with a 17" CTX VL700 (CRT) monitor and a Creative Nvidia Video card, that it is more related to the Video Card. I had/have this problem, irt was originally on my Windows box, so I checked all the drivers - still no good. I changed the monitor (!) still the same problem. I swapped the card and monitor to my SuSE box and it still persisted. On a basis of not the monitor and not the OS, it is either the graphics card or motherboard (or combination thereof). My next step is to remove the card and give it a bloody good clean before reseating ot......... will let you know when I have done this.. What Graphics card are you using ?

Similarly, I had video noise with a Nvidia GeForce card, replaced it with a ATI Radeon card, and the hash went away. Sorry, I can't remember the exact model numbers. ... Reed n Wednesday 09 January 2002 08:57, you wrote:
