RE: [Nolug] Old monitor

I'm pretty sure the monitor will display correctly if you change the
display resolution. Start off with 640x480 and move up resolutions
incrementally.

Subject: [Nolug] Old monitor

My late father's Zenith ZCM-1492 (late 80s?) worked o.k. for me on older
equipment, i.e., using EISA video cards, but since I've upgraded to
motherboards that take only PCI and AGP cards, it works during Linux 8.0
setup, then degenerates to meaningless horizontal lines. It does the
same thing on my other computer under W2K. Both have FIC AD11 mobos,
Athlon 1600+ CPUs and PCI video cards (plain vanilla). Is there any way
around this problem, or do I have to replace the monitor to use with
newer cards?
    I remember that several years ago it wouldn't work with his then-new
HP Pavilion so I switched monitors with him, as I was then using an EIDE
video.
    My Sony 420GS works fine with both PCI cards.
    I have two AT boxes with mobos and 300MHz chips which worked when I
took them out of service and a box of ISA-EISA cards if anyone wants to
trade for a monitor that will work with my PCI cards.
