The original Multisync can handle the 800x600 graphics, but the only problem is that the monitor has problem with v-hold Someone, has suggested the following fix : Wire a potentiomenter in series with the v-hold and a switch in parallel with the pot. Then, adjust the pot so that when the switch is off, the monitor displays fine in non-super vga, then turn on and adjust for super vga. Anybody out there have suggestions on how to accomplish this without manual labor? Thanks.

I am using a X11R4 X386 server on my 20Mhz non-caching 8 meg system with a SWAN ET4000 SVGA and a 3yrs old NEC Multisync II. I use 832x600 [256colors] All the time and the image is sitting square on where it should be. I don't even need to adjust the knobs. If I want to, I can make the resolution some- thing like 832x610 [256colors] With just a few editing of a driver configuration file. So I am not too sure whether the v-hold problem discussed in this thread is really a monitor or not. Chin Fang Mechanical Engineering Department Stanford University fangchin@leland.stanford.edu PS. I run AT&T SYSV/386 UNIX R3.2 on my box, if this matters

Shouldn't be too difficult if you replace the switch with a relay. Drive a Condensator with the VSYNC signal and compare the voltage at the condensator with a comparator (opamp), which finally switches the relay. Would cost approximately 2$. Sorry - I don't have a Multisync. I would have tried. -- Karl-Peter Huestegge karl@robot.in-berlin.de Berlin Friedenau Bus: 2,25,48,81,85 U-Net: Bhf.F.Wilh.Pl. ..unido!fub!geminix!robot!karl
