- It's not interlaced, it's running at a refresh rate of 60 hz instead of 70
- hz, so you're seeing some flicker.
-
- Yes it is very annoying. Check to see if your card has any switches on it
- which allow you to set it at a higher refresh rate.
-
- Otherwise, you're in the same pickle as I am. I have a IBM PS/Valuepoint,
- and the only way to set the video on this to the higher refresh rate is by
- using the DOS program VMODE included on the video drivers disk.
-
- I've tried somehow making this work about 3 times now under OS/2 and have
- found that each and every time it screws something up and I have to
- reinstall the OS/2 system. Since 1024x768 is unsuable on anything smaller
- than a 17" display I've given up on it. I don't quite even understand what
- I did, but the darn display is black after I shutdown and restart.
-
- Sorry, I just like complaining about this.
