Hi
Very wierd, standard new pro install only gives me 1024x768.
If I select 640x480 or 800x600 I get a garbled screen.
1024x something appears on the install which I thought was a little strange.
The top 2/3 only of the screen is used.
Any ideas?
Thx

Pro should only support 640x480, i dont know where you are managing to select 800x600.

Nor do I?
If I don't sent anything with xbvset then it goes to 640x480
If I try to set anything with xbvset it will only give me what looks like 1024x768 but only using half of the screen.
If I try and set 640x480 or 800x600 the screen goes scrazy.
very wierd!!

Yes, this is something i dont recommend as it can cause issues (namely with xfree and xbv scripts) hence me including the 800x600.xbe as an option. The installer forces 640x480.
