Now I'm struggling to get a decent resolution out of my card/monitor combo. I've been playing with xvidtune and I get 1152x864 and 1024x768 modes running, but haven't gotten a perfect optimum otherwise: I either get "CGA-snow" or a lousy refresh rate. Ideas, anyone? Damn, I miss my Sun 3/60! Jari Kokko -- NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION
