Me three...
Authored by: deanlewis on Oct 01, '01 09:26:24PM

Just as a note, I am having this problem as well and am searching for whether there is a fix or not. Here is some info in case it helps us figure out the real fix:

G4/400 AGP
16MB Rage Pro
704MBs RAM
OS X 10.1 (obviously :^) )
Sony 17" trinitron monitor (and, yes, I need a new one anyway)
--set usually at 1280x768, millions of colors, 75Hz

I have found that the Display panel doesn't show all of the resolutions OS 9.1 shows, and the Hz ratings certainly aren't the same. The odd thing is that the Display menu in the top menubar does seem to show the proper resolutions and refresh rates except that it is still missing 640x480.

When in the Display panel, waiting a short time seems to return the display to its prior settings (probably because of the timed save request). However, a game I ran does not do this. Luckily a CMD-Q took me out of the game and back to the prior screen resolution and desktop, but I'm worried something will leave me hanging like the author of this thread had. I'm glad I can go in through 9.1 and delete that file at least, but it'd be nice to have a bit better display handling.

I look forward to other info others might be able to find or figure out!
