Dave,
Thanks for the help and advice. Shortly after
receiving your message, I read a posting in
com.windows.x.i368unix by a user with the same video card.
He suggested that even though our card uses a proprietary
clockchip, that using the icd????a (I forget now) clockchip
entry works fine. ...It worked for me too! I get all the
modes from 640x400 through 1280x1024 and its awesome! I do
need to center and scale a bit, and that's where your
insight will help.
I liked the format of your response. It answered my questions
directly while also providing insight in a hands-on useable
way. I'm sure that I can now scale and move the steady images
on my screen.
I was pleased to learn about the <CTL><ALT><+> and
<CTL><ALT><-> keystrokes to switch between modes. That will
help me debug my experiments. I had considered creating a
spreadsheet, but I decided to code it in prolog (or C) so
it could find all the possible ModeLines for me. I don't know
how to get a spreadsheet to do that... ...Well, OK maybe I do.
Anyway, Thanks a lot for the info. I appreciate your concern
and replies. Metaphorically speaking, Now that I've eaten, I'm
glad you helped teach me to fish instead of giving me a fish.
I would still like to know:
How do I get ot the displays with the other
depths? The <CTL><ALT><+> keystroke moves me
between resolutions in a depth, but how do I
get the other depths?
Thanks,
