I have the same monitor as you do and used the vgadb entry for the Micron 17FGx. This is probably not the correct thing to keep running it but at least it got something up on the screen for me to work with. I looked at my user's manual for the Micron 700FGx and noticed a difference in one of the numbers you posted. I wasn't sure if it is a typo, but what I have is indicated below. BTW, if you got any replies to your posting I would be interested in how to modify my vgadb correctly too. /Bill wstanREMOVETHIS@planet.nl On Fri, Aug 18, 2000 at 04:14:15PM +0000, Mark C.
