| | You could be very limited by the AGP slot on your motherboard,if it has
one. So,fill us in on the make and model of the syatem parts.

| KVM switch for DVI _dd 22:48:33 |
| | I'm looking for a 2-channel or 4-channel KVM switch for use with DVI
video. 1600x1200 resolution would be good. 1920x1200 would be even
better.
Any recommendations for models or brands?

| What is a good display adapter for older pc? Joe 14:41:13 |
| | My mom, was given an older Compaq Pentium 75MHz w/24MB RAM, a Cirrus
Logic 5434 with 1MB of video RAM. Hopefully, she'll have a better pc,
some time, soon (my own is a crumbling AMD 450MHz with
8MB onboard shared video).
The CL 5434 display isn't good for my moms worsening eyesight The
refresh rate runs alright only in 'adapter default' mode which has a
screen flutter and lacks picture quality. Using the 'Optimal' or 75 Hz
options, the viewable screen shrinks in from the edges, and every so
often the monitor screen goes black and then comes back on in a second
or two (why, I don't know. The 17in monitor she has, is set to 640 by
480 screen resolution because some displays run larger and in full
screen).
What is affordable right now, seems to be to buy a better PCI
videocard that is compatible with such older hardware. An 8MB would be
great or even a 16MB video adapter, if that's possible. There are
several on ebay, but, which one is least likely to cause installation
headaches? Can someone here, with knowledge of older systems and
video adapters, please suggest a good PCI video card for an old
computer such as above?
Thanks, very much.

| swapping primary and secondary dual monitors Kam 04:09:45 |
| | I have a Chaintech video card with VGA / DVI connectors on my Dell PC
with Windows XP. I set up dual monitors with one monitor connected to
the VGA connector and the other monitor connected to the DVI
connector. The VGA monitor came up as the primary and the DVI monitor
as the secondary. Is it possible to swap the primary and secondary so
that DVI is on the primary? Thanks.

| Video cable for Sony CPD-1302 monitor? Mitchell Spector 10:40:59 |
| | Would anyone here happen to have, or know where to find, a standard VGA
cable for the Sony CPD-1302 monitor?
It has a DE-9 female (9-pin) input on the back of the display. I picked it
up for its ability to handle NTSC frequency but in the meantime I'd like to
simply test it.

| Can I put an AGP 8x Video card in an AGP 4x motherboard slot? Stephen Clark 22:36:35 |
| | Hi, I would appreciate some guidance. I have an oldish Intel D850MV
motherboard which I believe has an AGP 4X slot. I need to run a Windows XP
application which requires Directx 9.0b. All the video cards I've seen which
say they support 4X/8X are only DirectX 8.1 compatible whilst all the ones
which are DirectX 9.0 compatible say the requirement is for a motherboard
with an AGP 8X slot.
Can I buy a DirectX 9.0 compatible AGP 8X video card and slot it into my AGP
4X motherboard?
I know I wont get the full 8X performance but for it just to work would be
fine! Thanks.

| Re: Problems with ATI X800 and Catalyst Ati_anger 17:31:28 |
| | I have EXACTLY the same problem as GUEST, with and without dual
monitors.
I have the x700 ATI PCI-E w/ 256M.
The problem has persisted for months on end. I have tried several
driver scenarios. Contacting ATI was useless, I followed all of their
suggestions including OS re-install - the problem persists. Once I
indicated to them that I had followed all their instructions without
any improvement, they stopped responding.
Problem synopsis:
-ati2evxx causes monitor(s) to flash, using all resources
-once ati2evxx is disabled, SYSTEM begins to use all resources
-problem arises spordically, sometimes even several reboots will not
solve issue
-problem may then disappear for a couple of days
-machine is perfectly stable with only generic XP vga drivers loaded
conclusion:
ATI really screwed up this driver, they refuse to admit the problem
and I suspect that at least the X700 and X800 are effected and
perhaps others in the X series of cards from ATI
I'd be really interested to learn if anyone had found a work-around to
this problem.
Cheers.

| Character Sets MDA and Hercules Different? Jp 00:16:35 |
| | I recently exchanged the MDA in my IBM PC for a Hercules Graphics Adapter.
As far as I can tell it's a first edition model, ie not a Ramfont or the
like.
As it turns out, the Hercules character set differs quite a bit from the
original MDA set, especially the character representations for the <32
ascii codes, regularly used by various programs to 'fancy-up' their screen
interfaces.
Anybody know if the character sets are supposed to be 'incompatible'. Not
according to the original Hercules manual. Is there anything I can do to
fix this? Could I, for example, exchange the character roms on the cards,
or do they contain instruction code apart from the character set?
Any info or advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
JP
