- That's your problem. You must lower your Pixel Clock in CVMode. I suddenly
- started getting similar crashes after I upped the pixel clock in an attempt
- to increase my normal resolution's refresh rate...
-
- There has been some speculation about these problems on the CyberGfx mailing
- list. It seems they generally occur in A4000/040 machines with 18 MB ram
- (mine is like that too) when the pixel clock is set too high.
