Dual-boot Dell laptop, a few years old. Win NT on one partition. SuSE 8.0 on the other. If I boot into Windows, I get 1280x1024, True Color (that's 24-bit?) at 85Hz. It's beautiful, smooth, rock-steady, flicker-free, just a pleasure to work with. In Linux, SaX2 scans the hardware (ATI Mobility M3 AGP 2X and 21-inch monitor) and timidly finds a maximum of 1152x768. And that drops to 1024x768 at 16 bits, as the maximum performance that SaX2 is willing to test. BUT, it's worse than that. SaX2 has made up it's mind to offer this puny maximum resolution -- far below what the aging Windows NT can do with the same hardware -- at 60Hz. In addition to the constant headache from the 60Hz flicker, I have to put up with comments from my cow-orkers: "Kevin! How can you live with that? Is that that stupid Linux stuff? Why do you use that?" QUESTION 1 Why can't SaX2 figure out what a 5 year old operating system figures out? QUESTION 2 How can I persuade Linux to give me decent video, that SaX2 won't override if I run it again? /kevin -- ** DIR-ty DEEDS, and they're DONE dirt cheap. (Sing it with me, now...)
