#Extra pixels on screen
7 messages in this thread
Dave,
Possible causes of your problems, in order of likelyhood:
1) Your VRAM's ROM is flaking out
2) You have a memory conflict at segment address A000H (which is where the
fonts get loaded).
3) Your VGA is flaking out
4) Your monitor is flaking out
5) You have a new, unknown, virus
6) The constellations are just not in your favor this week <g>

Hi, Jake. This particular VRAM is going back anyway. It IS brand new, FWIW. A
reboot cleared the extra pixels problem, but it's since come back a couple of
times. I *hope* it's the card; the monitor is *just* out of warranty.

Dave:
If the pixels are consistant with reference to each character, then the
problem is in the graphics card. Actually, a failing monitor will never
generate random pixels.

Evan – Speaking of monitors, in your review in CADalyst, a comment suggests
that the Mitsubishi monitor can be driven at resolutions up to 1600 x 1200.
I was just curious…. Is this an observation based purely in theory, or have
you actually been able to drive the display at that resolution?
Inquiring minds (with 4 of these displays, and four more on the way) would
like to know.

OK – I didn't run it. My Artist XJS was out of the office at the time.
But I have run other monitors at 1600×1200, and have total confidence that
the Diamond Pro 20 will do it all day long.

Evan – Fine, I'll take your word for it.

Evan,
Where was your XJS… on vacation?<g> Tom
