I have connected an XP computer with an Radeon 9800Pro video card to a
1998
MAG 720-V2 CRT plug & play monitor. Everything works except: There is a 15
second delay on startup for the monitor to "switch on" and bring me to the
desktop. What I mean by "switch on" is that the monitor is on as it goes
through the boot process, but as Windows loads the monitor switches off
then
back on again after the delay. I am assuming that the settings in XP for
the
video display are not one of the "preset modes" of the monitor and there
must be some communication going on to get the non-standard setting to run
on the monitor (WAG). I want to change the settings top eliminate the
delay.

you have tried loading the 'INF file from MAG for thier monitors?


When I first set up the monitor the screen came up with the monitor's menu
warning that the video display was not one of the standard presets. I gave
me the option to select a custom mode from a list. I made my choice and
hit
OK and everything was fine from there, except the startup delay.

The monitor's manual Gives preset Modes in Standard VGA, SuperVGA, and
XGA.
The SuperVGA mode for the monitor only goes up to 800 x 600. For 1024 x
768
there is only XGA. All modes are listed in horizontal frequencies and
verticle frequencies. The verticle frequencies look familiar (60,70,75,85
Hz). The horizontal frequencies are odd (48.3, 56.5, etc). The video card
settings are listed as only one frequency (60,70,75,85).

Right now I have the card set at 1028 x764 @ 75Hz.
What setting changes do I need to make to have this card start faster on
this old monitor?
