Subj : Re: Whistler To : Robert Comer From : Robert Comer Date : Sun Apr 08 2001 12:04 am From: "Robert Comer" I just remembered that the last linux install I tried was with Mandrake 8.0 beta on the PC with the Radeon (I'm not sure if 7.2 even supported the Radeon), but I blew that install away when I upgraded to a new disk, and my other install of Mandrake 7.2 was on the PC with the Elsa, but I blew that instal away to make room for WinXP. So I guess I have no working installs of Linux at the mo. I'll see if I can get something going on the Radeon PC and get back to you -- getting rid of the res problems would get rid of one of my biggest complaints I have with Linux. (I tend to change res's fairly frequently under Windows to get the easiest viewing for what I'm doing at the time. - Bob Comer "Robert Comer" wrote in message news:3ad04024$1@comertower.... > > What problems did you have switching resolutions? > > Screen just loses sync or the image is off centered enough to not be able to > adjust it.
