Message-ID: <1991Jun9.035241.135308@ramona.Cary.NC.US> Date: 9 Jun 91 03:52:41 GMT Lines: 17 When in 800x600 graphics mode, there is a slow-moving line which "moves" from the bottom to the top of the screen image. It isn't really a line; it's a barely-noticeable brightness difference that just travels up the screen and then starts back down and the bottom again. It's like something is slightly out of sync. But other than that, the picture is beautiful. I'm just curious what causes this. Could it be the VGA card's fault? The card is the CompuAdd Hi-Rez card with 1 Meg (TSENG). No moving effect is visable in either 640x480 or 1024x768 mode. Bonus question: is it normal for the screen image to be narrower in 800x600 graphics mode than it is in 640x480 or 1024x768 mode? The latter two have the same width. I compensate when in 800x600 mode by adjusting the horizontal width control. Since some monitors (like NEC) have memory for holding dimension settings, I'm hoping this is normal for multisync monitors. -- Andrew Ernest
