Hello, Alfred! I am so late (4 months, or...), although, I suppose some I know this problem, I encountered that with different video cards, including Riva128. The problem is either in memory refresh rate or XF86 options. You probably will have to turn off the "acceleration" and "hardware cursor", turn on "linear" and "software cursor". You can also manipulate with screen (not memory) refresh rate. I had the problem off Riva128, when set lower rate. I don`t know much about SiS, but I noticed for myself NEVER TO BUY NVIDIA PRODUCTS! All nVidia products I encountered, have BUGS, including their sound products and other devices. You really pay for a great garbage. Thanks, Egor. -----Original Message----- From: Alfred U'Ren [mailto:alfred@optics.rochester.edu] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 1999 5:46 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com; egm@csie.nsys.by Subject: [SLE] screen resolution I've spent the last few weeks getting my SuSE box up and running, with a fair amount of success. However, there is one annoying detail which I would very much like to have fixed, if only I knew how. The issue I'm talking about is that I've been unable to get my system to behave well at a resolution of 1024x768 or higher; the most I've gotten is 800x600 at 16 bit color depth. 1024x768 gives a nasty 'snow' phenomenon which makes my desktop unworkable. What's strange is that under M$ Windows I can get 1024x768 at 8 or 16 bit color depth as well as 1280x1024 at 8 bit color depth (the latter though only at 60 Hz). Some of my system's details: SiS5597 video card xfree86 version 3.3.4 SVGA X server SuSE 6.2 kernel 2.2.10 Does anyone on this list have any experience with SiS cards? What is the highest resolution which I should expect to get with this system? How can I fix this problem?
