"Hourglass" Distortion
My video adapter has developed a headache, but one that's not so bad that I can't live with it. It's an ATI Rage Pro Turbo 2x that's about three years old, and it permanently distorts the view area slightly into the hourglass shape. None of the normal changes I can make to the settings will fix it, either on the monitor buttons or in the driver software. Does anybody know the specifics of what causes this problem, and does it mean that my adapter has pemanent hardware damage? |

Does anybody know the specifics of what causes this problem, and does it mean that my adapter has pemanent hardware damage? Sounds like pincushion or barrel distortion. I have an adjustment on my monitor - and it's quite common for there to be a pincushion adjustment - maybe hidden away on the back? Ben -- I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a String... |
