Hi, I've just found this via Google. I'm a newbee having installed Linux (Redhat 9) for the very first time an hour ago! I have problems with the same monitor SUN0567 -or- my VIDEO card configuration (I have a DELL Dimension 1100 that seems to use an "82865G Intel Graphics Controler"). Any clues please? The quality of the display is very poor and everything is magnified on the screen ... my first night with Linux nothing is probed correctly! Ibex
Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be fixed). If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.
