LCD Monitor display confusion

[Mattrixx]

Could someone please explain to me about LCD display resolution?
I have a 19 inch Viewsonic VP191b monitor now for over a year.
I have had NO problem with the display, therefore I am unused to dealing
with
a monitor problem.

I recently changed motherboards and CPU, but kept all other hardware,
including my ATI All in Wonder videocard.
I booted up for the first time,after the MB/CPU swap, everything went well
including re-activating Windows, however during that first bootup attempt
(with the new MB and CPU), I could not "see" the screen on the LCD!
I got a flickering horizontal rolling(?), so I temporarily changed back to a
CRT and was then able to "see", and I then continued on to the BIOS to
configure, and eventually to the Windows Desktop.

Later, after all the new hardware and drivers were loaded, I was able to
re-connect my LCD, but I could NOT get the screen to default to the 19 inch
Viewsonic "native" resolution of 1280 by 768 pixels, it defaulted to a lower
1152 by 864 pixels.

When I attempt to *set* the display to the 1280x864, the screen looks
squashed with the top and bottom heading towards the middle of the
screen.When I try to use the digital control buttons on the monitor, the
auto and manual tabs are "Grayed Out", and no adjustments can be made!

Also, now when I first boot, I immediately see that same horizontal rolling
as before, but it quickly subsides and continues on as per normal until the
Windows Desktop.
The monitor also displays H-Frequency *63 Hz* V- Frequency *60Hz* while
it is "rolling".
When I try to go to "Safe Mode" by pressing the F8 key during boot up, I
also encounter the same "rolling" and can not see the screen!!

I have re-installed the Viewsonic driver CD but it has not solved this
problem.
Could this possibly be a BIOS setting I have missed, which is somehow
causing this "rolling" out of sync.... in low video mode?

Any experienced help here would be greatly appreciated.

The native resolution is 1280 x 1024.

Thanks Quaoar,
for that resolution number (1280 x1024).

I should have caught that!!(Duh)
Any idea(s) on my low level video problem?
i.e. When I first boot up I get that flickering rolling 64.4Hz H Frequency,
and a 60.2 Vertical Frequency,which quickly then corrects it`s self as it
continues on to desktop.

Thanks again for any help in this matter I`m monitor "challenged"

I have a 19 inch LCD. Prior to it I had a 19 CRT . I was running the CRT at
1280x1024 the native res of the LCD so when I swapped them out everything
worked fine. About a month ago I had to rebuild my system and when I did the
LCD was useless until all the drivers for the video card (an ATI radeon
9200) were installed. Everything was just completely garbled and unreadable.
I had to get the old CRT out of the closet and set the machine up using it.
Once the machine was set up I swapped back to the LCD with no issues. Why
would this have happened?

The proper native mode for your monitor is 1280 X 1024. The maximum refresh
should not exceed 75 Hz.

Are you using DVI as your connection to your monitor? I've had man
problems over the years with LCD's hooked up with analog

Though my new Viewsonic connected to analog seems to auto-set itsel
with no problems, perhaps that is your issue. Use DVI and I thin
you'll see the problems go away

I have had some strange problems though; how about when installin
Windows, the bootup sequence will boot through my other monitor por
instead of my primary. Then when the Windows logo fires, it revert
back

This also may be what you've been seeing. After installing the vide
driver, it straightens out

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

The out of sync can be because the monitor itself is set to say 70hz
while the VGA driver at boot is set to 60hz. Verify that the display
properties and the internal monitor settings are the same at 60hz.
