Title: Need monitor help....
Post by: Ovalblue on July 13, 2005, 05:58:24 pm

I just posted a topic on the software forum last night regarding my arcadeVGA card driver installation.  Well it looks like it finally got the driver signed. 

My last problem which I still have no clue how to fix is my monitor alligning the picture.  The arcade monitor is a standard CGA 27" monitor, the picture below is the best config I could get the picture at thats at 640x480. 

Anyone know what the problem is?  Do I need to install something else?  Is the monitor junk?  I really dont want to spend $500+ on a new D9200 monitor if i could getthis one working.

You guys have been great so far... hopefully you can help me past my LAST hurdle... I really wanna get it working!  =(

Funny that ... ... looks abit like my problem on my EGA monitor,

Check out my post  AGP > TO EGA > RGB:S

As for the allinment, have you tryed 1024x768 on 60hz? sounds crazy, but it works! also you need to get an application to mess around with the position of the screen!

What does the display look like in bios?


(This monitor/card combo should work even before the windows drivers are loaded)
(I.e. you  should get a stable screen in your bios before windows loads.)


If you are not getting a stable pic, then it's most likely a hardware issue (Bad cable, monitor might need seperate syncs instead of composite syncs, etc.)
