First off this is my first post so be kind please ! . I've just got a Samsung Syncmaster 172 W as my old monitor died yesterday. The problem I've got is that in Mac OS X 10.2.8 the display prefs pane doesn't recognise the monitor's native resolution and comes up with 1028x768 as the largest resolution not 1280 x 768 and then I have to switch the monitor to "normal" mode. Now in 10.3.2 and OS 9 the monitor works at the correct resolutions. And yes I know it's a funny screen size but I bought the monitor in desperation as it was reduced and as I'm a student money's a bit tight. As for running a dual boot system that's because LightWave currently doesn't work in 10.3 and it is pretty important to have access to that as I'm studying animation . The only other things to say are that I'm running an original Radeon OEM card and that it's in a gigabyte G4. I'm not totally green when it comes to messing around with my system but I've hit a wall so to speak and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or idea's anyone has.
