I would think its the video card.. but i'm not sure. Make sure that the card supports VESA 2.0 or higher... some need a TSR to do that. Just a thought.
: : Yes you can. It might not fit on the screen exactly the way you want (sometimes its smaller)
: : but it will work. I have done it and it works.
: : As for how it works... im not exacly sure... it's like it displays the even lines then the odd lines real fast so it seems like a full picture or something. I saw it on the net somewhere... if i can find it i will post the information.
: Not all arcade monitors seem to support 640x480, if I use "-monitor arcade -640x480" on my machine I get an error saying display mode not availible, although this could be due to the video card I'm using????
