This paragraph describes how to get a high resolution with a Matrox Millenium Graphic Card (maybe also other cards):
As the following tips are very close to the heart of the hardware make sure your monitor fits all your settings!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not responsible for damages or something else in any way! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Of course I have tested this for me and it works fine and also new equipment has a high standard, so you can't damage it so fast.
At first make sure you have got the newest driver for Millenium for OS/2 (as far as I know it's Version 1.12). Also you need Windows! (I don't know, how to handle it otherwise, because the OS/2 drivers has only a DOS program that doesn't display the timer settings).
The file 'mga.mon' included with the driver package should be the same Version (by date) with the Windows Version of this file. If not a simple copy is possible. Do the Xconfiguration at first and make sure it runs ok.
Now step-by-step:
# 800 x 600 @ 85 Hz, 55.8 kHz hsync Modeline "800x600" 60.75 800 856 976 1040 600 647 643 666 +hsync +vsyncThis settings are a sample(Millenium 2 MB Card with MAG MX15F Innovision Monitor! You must set the timings you find out at 2.
Make sure that the following is set (or above if your monitor is capable of more):
HorizSync 30-64 VertRefresh 50-100
VideoRam 2048 Clocks 51.5 60.75 29.8 77.5Again it's only a sample for my configuration!
# The 16-color VGA server Section "Screen" Driver "vga16" Device "MGA Millenium" Monitor "MAG Innovision" Subsection "Display" Modes "800x600" "640x480" "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection EndSectionThat`s a example which should for the most people. Order of resolutions is important! My configuration for 1024x768 is unstable, so I don`t use it. Test it for you.
