Pincusion monitor image

[DanSoft]

Recently, I booted my computer and the monitor image was very distorted. The edges were bowed in, and the horizontal size knob was non-operational. Neither problem was there when I last booted the computer. I am using an older monitor; it has 14.7" viewable area; instead of buttons, it has little knobs (that might give an idea of how old it is)

Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that I'm using a Matroc G450 DualHead video card and both W2K and Linux. The problem shows up in both. I have booted since and the problem showed up in text mode and when booting W2K and hibernating W2K. It worked fine in all three cases before.

when you change refresh rate or resolution your monitor often changes shapes. play around with these settings, they may have changed automatically.

also play around with your gpu's settings, like device adjustment etc.

I'll try that later. Thanks!

Check voltages in the monitor. Also vertical transformer.
i have had this problem in TV sets, Horizontal Oscillator was bad. Trouble is, could be electronic component bad also. Get out the old ohmeter-voltmeter check voltages and items in Horiz. Vert. Osc. circuit.
