A LITTLE inconsistency from what i had 20 minutes ago...

[Jutny]

i think i fixed my dual monitor problem with the PCI GF2MX, but now....

i cant get my main monitor to run at 1600x1200 at anything other than 60hz... before i was able to uncheck, hide modes that this monitor can not display, and use either 70hz or 72hz, which was fine for me... but now when i do that, it gives me freq over range for 70, 72 and 75hz... that means that everything is screwed, because i run the other monitor at 1152x864@75hz (9 year old MAG 15"), and its a lot smaller than my main 19".

its an optiquest q95-2 fyi.

why wont it do 70-72hz anymore?

fyi again, what i did to fix the problem was nix ACPI, and let windows reinstall everything with me specifying the IRQ's, so now the GF3 is on its own IRQ, and the GF2MX is sharing with my TV Tuner that never gets used.

have you tried going into device manager and changing your monitor to a different one? say one that can do 16x12 @ 75 hz?

 

[Jutny]

i thought about that... but if i tell it to let me do whatever i want... (unchecking the "hide" box) shouldnt i in effect be doing the same thing?

these are the 27.10 drivers btw, thats the only other difference, the others were the 21.85's

 

[sohcrates]

well, it shouldn't hurt to try

if you set it to a better default monitor...there'll be no need to uncheck that box

just a thought

 

[Jutny]

it was the drivers fault, i switched to the 27.10's and i guess the refresh interpretation is different, cause it wouldnt work, when i switched back to 21.85's it worked fine...

out comes powerstrip... *shudder*

$3,300... USD... one might think that its steep. but when you consider that its got factory buckets, console, floor shifter, rebuilt tranny, new motor (1974 400ci) and that its red to start with (which is what i want it to be) and the fact that the frame and cross members are in PERFECT condition, i think it was a steal.

im getting a brand new drivers side quarter panel in trade for the old buckets... from the same guy i bought it from... with the car came two new doors, and a new hood.

then all i really need is a new passenger side quarter, and my bro's friend will take off the old ones, put on the new ones, and prime it all up... for $700... and then i'll be ready to have the candy apple red w/ black SS stripes sprayed on. or at least thats the plan.
