[iyonix-support] Re: Problems with display

Hello David

Irony of ironies...

I left the Iyonix booted last night and switched off the monitor. When I came
back this morning I switched on the monitor and found streaking. 

More by luck than good judgement I switched through all the poosible modes
and behold a perfect screen.


But

I  agree and we'll see if it returns

I'll make my self get round to returning it to castle for a full overhaul and
update....my CD ROm drive is never found on first attempt plus a few other 
problems

Still, so far so good. 

Thanks for your input.
