Well I thought I would give vga modification a shot. So I soldered the wires from a spare vga cable... found a 5v power supply for DCC... and it seems to work.
I messed with PowerStrip for a good 3 hours this evening. These are the settings I currently have, and so far is the best picture I can get:
I didn't have a camera handy... so I couldn't take a shot... but here's my best description of the picture I get:
The image is still... that is to say, it's not "rolling." The vertical lines are vertical, the horizontal lines are horizontal. Nothing has been skewed. The colors are just fine. The only thing wrong is the image is not centered (probalby the right 25% or so of t he display is black). However, from comparing how much of the actual image is visible, it looks like the left 40% or so has been cut off. So about pixels 256 to 640 are visible.
As for verticalness, it's almost as if the image has been stretched more than 100% of the display height, and "looped arround to the other end of the universe." Hehehe... I love analagies. If I place my mouse pointer at the very bottom of the screen, the actual place it shows up on the display is about 25% up from the bottom. Then if I move it up, it goes up, off the top and continues from the bottom of the screen, still moving up, about 2/3 of the way up the display is where it finally reaches the top (higher than the original bottom point).
Whew......
So does anyone think they know of any values I should try changing?
Thanks!
