Your comments are extremely useful. However much I would like to get a newer |
4 |
graphics card, I am stuck with this one for a few weeks at least. It works |

How would you recommend to go about trying vesa. That may be what Ubuntu is |
8 |
doing. Turn on vesa framebuffer? |

I backed down to 1024xsomething: vertical lines were scalloped/wavy. Someone |
11 |
mentioned this would be a timing issue, but I don't know what I'd do to |
12 |
microadjust timing? xvidtune? I'll try it. |

Thanks again. |
