what is monitor set to in plan9.ini? 'echo $monitor' should
tell you. i'm not sure which one's best for your monitor, but
i think running at 1024x768 with a multisync65 should work
for you. sounds like you should be able to go "up" from there
significantly, but i'm not sure how high. i don't know what
monitor type would pick something so low, though... maybe
this isn't your problem at all.

[9fans] Monitor problems

[Moritz W. Schmitt]

I just installed Plan 9 on my computer. The installation process finished
without any errors. But when I booted Plan 9 for the first time and it tried
to start the GUI my monitor switches to the out-of-sync-screen. How can I
change the sync range to solve this problem?

Thanks / Moritz

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.
