When Only the two cards mentioned are totally different.

Oh yeah once i actually had it show 256 colors but only in 320x200 on > a 20" monitor. You could get nightmares for less :) The card you have is an _appalling_ choice to drive a 20" monitor. Dump it in the bin and spend a little cash on a decent card. Anything with an S3 part on it would be a good start. One of the #9 Motion series would be a decent choice. > regards/ Joakim -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
