actually, if I am reading the man page correctly,on reality engine graphics
the "-x" saves the format in a eeprom on the graphics board. on impact
graphics the format is saved in a disk file, which may be the problem with
our releases, although I don't think so.
I think this command only needs to be issued once per machine, unless
something else is changing the format saved in eeprom.
Did I miss something here? How certain are we that a new release changes
the setting?
Or could it be the upgrade last summer of all the machines in that room?

:)As some of you may remember, we fixed the monitor jitter problm in
:)4-035 some months ago by use of the command that Lou refers to in

:)Hi all,
:) The command /usr/gfx/setmon -x 60hz has greatly reduced the monitor
:)jitters. I would say that previous patches/releases to the 02 platform
:)probably reset the above command. Does anybody think its possible that the
:)above command could be inserted into any 02 patches/releases in the future?
:)Also, anytime software needs to be re-installed at this location, the above
:)command will need to be re-issued on the prone machines.
