Hello all,
I've just replaced my monitor to a SyncMaster 171S LCD one and
upgraded my box to FC4.
Although it is properly detected it does not work well. If I am to use
the 1280x1024 resolution, which is the standard for this monitor, I
have the picture fiting perfectly but I also have vertical lines as it
seems the frequency is not ok. Well, the monitor is 1280x1024 at 60Hz
with horizontal frequency of 30-81 KHz and Vertical frequency of 56~76
Hz. I've tried to mess with X config file as well but I still have the
same problem. If I try a better resolution say 1400x1050 the lines are
no longer there but the monitor image does not fit the screen
verticaly and there is no way on this monitor to change the vertical
size, only the horizontal.
What shall I do with the i815 video card machine? Any ideas other than
putting another card?
First a question, if you ctl-alt-Fn to another terminal, do you get a
blue border? If so, you might try to replace the libvgahw.a file that
was previously discussed. If you already replaced the file, I have no
clue as to a resolution to your problem.
With the computer that I have that contains an Intel 815 card, I run
1280x1025@24 and do not see any problems on a CRT display with similar
resolution. I did not see the vertical lines on my display as you
descrivbed, even before replacing the libvgahw.a file.

Thanks in advance,
