Monitor compatibility problem with SiS graphics adapter
Does anyone have experience with the SiS 741 Graphics Adapter [software ver.
3.59]? This chip is integrated into the AS Rock KS741 motherboard in my p.c. (AMD Athlon XP 2400+, 512MB RAM). The p.c. is working fine with the exception of the display. My monitor is a Iiyama TFT LCD Monitor (ProLite E430T). I have loaded the latest SiS drivers and selected the correct Monitor inf file supplied by Iiyama. The display is not functioning correctly (on booting up, the Windows desktop has a wavy, shimmering appearance and then the screen blacks out after a few moments). The display looks fine when I change the monitor to a CRT type. My OS is Windows 98SE. When I click on Display Properties/Settings and choose "Advanced..", the Driver Mode Settings in SiS Utility Manager do not allow me to select "LCD" (only "CRT"). The LCD box under Support Modes is greyed out. Any thoughts on why the LCD option is greyed out, and whether this may indicate the source of the problem?Does anyone have experience with the SiS 741 Graphics Adapter [software ver. 3.59]?

Monitor compatibility problem with SiS graphics adapter
Pandora wrote in message . .. Any thoughts on why the LCD option is greyed out, and whether this may indicate the source of the problem? Got this message from AS Rock Technical Support, which seems to have sorted the problem... "First, please set the lowest resolution and refresh rate like 800x600x60Hz. Maybe the driver "LCD" setting is for VGA cards, that have digital output. Normally there is no difference between "normal" CRT and "normal" LCD (except digital LCD !). Also try the AUTO-SETTING from LCD monitor. Maybe the timing is not correct.first, please set the lowest resolution and refresh rate like 800x600x60Hz.
