How can I change the sync range to solve > this problem? I just read my posting for the first time and I found out that I made an error in describing my problem. I wrote "out-of-sync-screen" and "sync range". I don't know why I used "sync" but it's wrong. The correct version would be "out-of-range-screen" and "range". Since I'm writing already I can provide some more information I found out. In my case Plan 9 tries to use a horizontal frequency of 25.2 KHz and a vertical frequency of 39 Hz for the graphical part of the user interface. Both are too low for my monitor. (FYI: My monitor supports a HF from 30 to 70 KHz and a VF from 50 to 150 Hz.). The graphic card I'm using is an AGP ATI Rage XL with an Mach64 chipset. Any help is appreciated. -Moritz PS: Merry Christmas to whom it may concern.
