If I use clock.exe to determine my videoclocks, 
this is what I get:
D
  25.2   28.3   19.8  23.7  25.2  28.3  19.8  23.7

I have however another program for the videocard, DMODE.EXE, 
which gives the following results:

  50.35  56.672  65.306  72.240 80.276  90.172  63.114  75.498

My videocard is an ET4000, with 15-bit RAMDAC.
I know my card can run 1024x768x256 at 70Hz, I can put it into
that mode using DMODE. I find both listings of clocks a bit 
suspicious however.

(I have not yet been able to test this because of a harddisk crash)

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
A

Marc.
