I am using a Toshiba Tecra 9000 (PIII -
1,2 GHz, Savage Chipset) under
RedHat 8.0 (2.4.18)/Xfree86 4.2.
I have tried different
modules for the XFree86 server (latest
driver vom http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html,
original driver
from S3).
When using the default
settings of the www.probo.com driver,
I am
unable to get more than 60 Hz refresh
rate on an external monitor
regardless of the setting of VerticalRefresh
in XF86config.
I found out that setting
"UseBIOS" to "false"
enables me to
have the higher refresh rates on the external
monitor.
But when using this settings
I am unable to get VMWARE running.
Then I have found out
that setting the option "NoAccell"
makes
VMWARE running but then the menu entries
in OpenOffice1.0 are not
visible. :-(
Is there any driver/configuration
which allows to:
- have refresh rates
> 60 Hz on an external monitor
- run win2k/winxp in
vmware in window and fullscreen mode
- run openoffice with
correct displaying of fonts/menus
Thank you very much in
advance,
|
