Hello Bob,

What you described does not solves the problem.

Why do you have lower resolutions setup for 16 depth than 24. I believe
the resolution needs reduced when greater color resolutions are used. I
do see the default depth is 24 and this is where your 1024x768 is set.

That is where I am myself confused. Lower resolutions were set up by the
system itself. I have manually added the 1024x748 setting.


I have a dell with an Intel 865G that works fine at both 1280x1024 and
at 1024x768 using the depth of 24.

Excerpt from your xorg.conf file posting:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection


For this section, I am confused as to why all of the commented
information followed by redundant information as the excerpt describes
below:

It was all setup by system-config-display.


Section "Monitor"

Have you changed any settings in BIOS or upgraded the BIOS version lately?
I have seen the problem that you describe on several different
videocards. The problem usually appeared after a 3D application was
launched. Then the video information would pan as you are experiencing.

I loaded the latest bios version from intel, but that was 2-3 months
back

But reading your mail gave me ideas. I installed winows xp to see if I
could set the req screen resolution and I could.


You might try to rename your xorg.conf file and run
system-config-display --reconfig. Check all hardware settings and ranges
to assure they are correct. Save the config file, then restart X.


I did all that many a times but to no avail.

If your video settings are still not correct, system > Preferences >
screen Resolution might be set wrong (GNOME anyway) even though they are
set correctly using system > Administration > display.

All gnome and kde are behaving the same way. The only thing I couldn't
understand was that the monitor refresh rate was set at 85, whereas this
model runs on 65 and I couldn't change that as no other option was
available.


Good luck, the video chipset is not busted for me, but I do not use a
monitor as you have.

Jim



I think it's bug in monitor section. I'll further investigate and report
if needed.

Thanks for your response.
