where's "geometry" in prefs?
Authored by: Mr. X on Mar 07, '03 10:44:15AM

does this work only on Apple Displays? Or is it my Mac that's too old? I don't see anything called "geometry" in my prefs... Got a iiYama CRT screen and an ancient G4 450MHz.

The dynamic adjustment only works for Macs with built-in CRT monitors, i.e., G3 All-in-One (Molar), iMac, eMac, etc. As theRhino pointed out, the feature has been around since before OS9.

Realized that, oh yeah, the digital flat screen CRT (champaign) monitors and even my old 1710AV could also be controlled via the geometry prefs by dragging if the AppleVision drivers were installed.

I personally will be very happy once the eMac and CRT iMac are discontinued and Apple finally gets out of the CRT business altogether. Once you've swapped your umpteenth PAV board or done dozens of DAAs or IVAD cables it becomes clear that CRT all-in-ones are a bad idea...
