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 <+> and <-> 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 <+> keystroke moves me between resolutions in a depth, but how do I get the other depths? Thanks, Joe Dusio (dusio@bytex.network.com)
