Can anybody help me with a problem that I am having? I have a NEC C550 Super VGA color monitor and a S3 viRge GX graphics card. I am running Redhat 5.0 (sort of). Several problems have occured since the first initial problem. The first problem I had was that I selected a monitor type that was closest to the model of my monitor. I got a split screen to where I could see the entire desktop (in X) but I saw two of them. A split screen effect if you will. I played around with different monitor types and finnaly, the second problem occured. I have a 15" monitor, and now, my computer likes to "think that it is a 17" monitor".. so, in other words things look bigger on my screen, and it does not all completly fit on my screen, even in my BIOS when the computer is first turned on. I have installed a patch for my S3 viRge card, so now I have colors, but I believe that there is probably a problem with the card.. meaning I might have gotten the wrong patch. Either that, or there is something that I am missing, a driver or something, that does not configure my monitor correctly. Until I can get this worked out, I have to continue using Windows to do most everything (YUCK!) If you can help me, pleaseplease please e-mail mail at lupha@feist.com thanks a lot guys! G~
