- NEC 4FG is a Multisynch monitor, right ? This means that it will support
- XGA's noninterlaced modes.
- XGA-2 can be run in interlaced and non-interlaced mode.
- To enable XGA-2's non-interlaced mode, certain pins in the connector has to be
- connected together.
- Your problem is probably that you're running your XGA-2 in interlaced mode!
-
- Solution: #1 Get a suitable video cable with an XGA-2 plug that has *all* the
- pins required (and connected) for non-interlaced mode operation.
- #2 If 1) doesn't help - have your monitor serviced!
-
- I assume you're using the drivers shipped with your XGA-2 video card (or maybe
- the ones that are on your system's reference disk).
