- I've got an ATI vga card, but I can't seem to get my monitor timings
- correct on it (it is a fixed-frequency 640x480 Hyundai VGA monitor).
-
- Since I can't get the color server to produce a stable picture, I just
- want to force the monochrome server to use the generic driver. However,
- the monochrome server recognizes the ATI card and doesn't let me
- use the generic driver.
-
- How do I force the monochrome server to just use the generic VGA settings?
-
- Thanks for the info.
