If I try to go any further it either locks up or gets very distorted. Options Already Tried: Both x servers for diamond and riva using different bbp and even a generic one for the xf86config. Tried using different options as far as probe and not probe the hardware and change memory under all three config choices (DIAMOND V770, RIVA TNT2, GENERIC(non specified)). tried the GUI and the text method for installation and configuration of XF86Config. Have also tried different installations from the pre-made to complete custom and somewhere between. Both modifications and complete reinstall. Note: monitor is known, I have had it working with other cards before and am using the appropriate refresh and settings for that.
