- There is a copy at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/uploads/. I needed it to get
- a higer vertical frequency. I did have problems, however. It would eventually
- hang the system with a blank screen. I tried the partially-created svgadata.pmi
- file with a second 'svga on' and somehow finally got the higher rate. I don't
- know what finally worked. I am certain that the flicker was there when I
- started, and was not present when I finished (800x600-16).
-
- I now notice a definite click as the monitor changes rates between VGA and
- SVGA modes. Perhaps I need to see if VGA mode can be used with the same rate?
