- I have had plenty of problems with an inexpensive S3 graphics
- adapter (MVGA-S3C911). I was given the adapter on trial but I need
- to return it soon unless I buy it, so I could really use some quick
- solutions!
-
- The problem is that whichever high resolution video mode I use the
- screen behaves very oddly. The Windows logo is typically displayed
- OK, but when Windows starts showing it is badly scrambled:
- characters missing, extra characters, scrambled colors. In some
- modes the screen goes blank after the Windows logo and I have to
- reset my computer.
-
- I assume the culprit might be my monitor, a Nec Multisync II.
- However, I have set the DIPs on the S3 adapter for an interlaced
- mode and my Nec has no difficulty working properly when I use my
- Video 7 1024i in 1024x768, for instance. There should be nothing
- wrong with the adaptor itself, as it worked OK when I tried it in
- another computer today (a 16" Eizo 9070).
-
- So anyone who can confirm that a Multisync II is out of question
- for S3 operation or can suggest other solutions, please e-mail
- your replies to me urgently.
