[CUBE] Please help with monitor!

[Alex May]

I'm using the ATI Rage 128 (standard). I wanna upgrade tho....!

I tried what you said and I disabled my non-registered version of SwitchRes
that is very annoying.

I don't know if its the ATI software I installed bus it does eventually
switch to 1024x768 once it starts to load the desktop

I also Zapped the PRAM while starting up but when I plugged in my monitor,
it got 'no signal' so I re-set and went from there.

But all resolutions are not shown still in monitors control panel - just
'640x480, 60hz, 640x480, 67hz and 1027x768, 75hz'??!

Very strange,

Thanks for your help!

Alex
