1. When booting, the screen has a `waist', bowed in that the OSD
adjustments can't get rid of.

2. When set to anything above 256x640 256 colors the screen shrinks to
about 1/2, i can move the apps around fine but can't select the shutdown
X til i get the panel in the center of the screen.

3. This started happening 2 weeks ago, now is constant.

I have:
run chkdsk, ok
replaced the video card
replaced the m/b

to no avail.

The monitor is fine on my Mac.

suggestions, comments ? 


Revert back to VGA gradd by running \os2\SETGRADD.CMD from the cmd
prompt that you get by (alt F1)-F2 from the OS/2 boot blob.  Once you
reboot and get a desktop, install your video driver again.

Well, I tried that, as they say `no joy'. same issue.
This is the weirdest thing I've seen ever...! 1st pc was a Z80 chipped little item purchased in '82...
by the by I am running ecomstation 1.2, scitech snap 220 drivers.
also noticed that what looked like interference running down
whats left of the screen a little.
am writing this on my G4 and all is fine.
