- This is the first reported incident that I am aware of of the Stealth
- card doing this. Are you setting the Video Refresh rates for the
- monitor using VMODE? i.e.
-
- cd \vram\util
- vmode
- Select monitor.
- Select 'custom' monitor type for the ZEOS CTX monitor.
- Set refresh rates to
- 640x480 70hz
- 800x600 70hz
- 1024x768 60hz
-
- The settings will be saved.
-
- You will need to insert '\vram\util\vmode monitor' in your autoexec.bat.
-
- You will also want to check for any possible RF interference. If none
- of these work e-mail us, support@zeos.com.
