Hi! I wonder if someone has experiences configuring a Elsa Winner 2000PRO/X with 2 MB RAM under X11. The only mode working yet is 640x480, for all other modes I get a blank dark screen. BTW I'm using a Philips 21BA 21" autoscan monitor. I used the detailed timing data given in the Elsa WINman Utility under Windoze 3.1, but no result. Is it possible that the monitor isn't capable of catching the syncs? I have neither an Elsa card or a Phillips monitor, but I remember when trying to get my Daytek 17" to work with my ATI Mach64 under Windows 3.11, I had the exact same problem: worked fine at 640x480 but the higher resolutions just came up with a blank screen. No clicking, no buzzing, no smoke, just.....nothing. With the help of the tech folks at Daytek I tracked it down to the sync polarity of the monitor when running at higher modes. Apparently the Daytek monitor reverses the polarity when in those modes. I went into the ATI card setup utility and changed the polarity there and, voila!, it worked just fine. This was over 18 months ago, and I haven't had a problem since. Could your monitor have the same problem? If forced to, I could probably find the monitor manual and give a more detailed explanation. Just my $0.02. Hope it helps. Rik Ling Network Administrator Peterborough Internet Pipeline http://www.pipcom.com/~rling (under construction, as always)
