Subject: Gack! Xconfig problems....Help...

Folks-

I have installed linux, and all of the X diskettes, no problems, love
this stuff, but.....

I have a CTX CVP-5468NI 14" monitor, and a Tseng labs video card of
unknown origin...(I have the clocks though), the manual and software
included with my video card are different than my card (the software
drivers included with my card do not recognize the card and complain)

The card's chip says Tseng Labs ET4000 on it, and I have the clocks
speeds that are printed on the crystals on the cards.

When I set up my Xconfig file with these clocks, no matter what mode I
set, get a flickering black and white screen, with no way to reset it,
other than a hard reset. The screen is not the gray x crosshatch, but
rather flickering lines, and a white interspersed field...not
recognizable as anything really.

the clocks that I have are 25.175,28.322,36,44.9,40.0,65.0 MHZ

The card itself is labeled Tseng Labs.(not only the chip, but the card
also)

any info, or Xconfigs that would work, or hints in how to pursue this
would really be appreciated.

direct email is fine.

Stephen
