Re: [Plug] Caldera screen resolution settings??

[Joshua Mazess <mazessj@op.net>]

Are you using XFree86? Look for Xconfigurator. You can also try monkeying around
with /etc/X11/XF86Config (or wherever your system puts it) directly. That's how I
tweaked the monitor settings for my system. Unfortunately, I'm running too old of a
server to properly support more than 256 colors (8 bit) with my video card, but at
least I was able to jack up my monitor refresh settings so that it doesn't flicker.
For refresh, you want to look for HorizSync and VertRefresh and set them to the
ranges supported by your monitor. For example, mine are set to 30-96 and 50-180,
respectively. Be careful to choose the right settings, though, because the wrong
ones can damage your monitor. --Josh
