Who has 8.04 working with good graphics?

I tried a new ATI graphics card and not getting good graphics with it using
8.04. Went through a bunch of drivers and configurations.

Who has good graphics and what card are you using?

Explain the problem.
AXIS preview garbled?

My screen goes beyond the bottom of the page slightly and the text is crunched up a bit.
My monitor keeps saying I need 1024x768 60hz at boot up.
I think it might be a refresh problem. I have 1024x768 61hz
I think it should be 60 and not 61,

Here is a copy of my xorg.conf

Hi greeder!

Just a suggestion. Try to change the vertrefresh to 56.0 - 60.0.

Andreas.

Changing to 56.0 - 60.0 didn't do anything.

Also Horizsync would be of interest.
Did you have a look on 'man xorg.conf' yet?
If not you should possibly do so.

I was able to get my graphics sized right by putting the size in millimeters for my 15" monitor
in the xorg.conf file under the Monitor section.

DisplaySize 300 210

I still have garbage on boot up and my monitor telling me I am not in 1024x768@ 60
probably because it says 72 now in the refresh rate but everything is working.
Maybe I can play around and get the monitor to get the proper size signal.

I would stay away from the ATI HD 4350 pcie card. Probably forcing a square peg in a round hole here.

As I've seen in your xorg.conf your hsync is set to a max of 48 kHz
For 1280x1024 you need settings like the following.

(II) MGA(0): Configured Monitor: Using hsync range of 30.00-82.00 kHz
(II) MGA(0): Configured Monitor: Using vrefresh range of 56.00-76.00 Hz

For 1024x768 it should be enough if you have hsync of 72 kHZ
