IBM 6091 19"
Color monitor
This page is under construction
The IBM 6091 19" color monitor is an old workstation monitor that could be made
working for a PC with a nice graphic card. The biggest problem with the monitor
is that it won't work in text-mode, like in setup and DOS.
I use a S3 Vision 864 graphic card, but the information found here should work on several other graphic cards.
You could also look at Jonas Svenssons page about the monitor.
Linux
I use the following modelines with linux XFree:

Windows 95
The problem in Windows 95 is that Windows doesn't have the ability to adjust
enough parameters for the graphic card. For now i have managed to get it to
work in 1280x1024 in 60 Hz and 1024x768 in 75 Hz.
With the S3 card you need the latest graphic driver (v2.0.2.2 or higher),
after that it will work in 1024x768. To get it to work in 1280x1024 you need
to change the horisontal sync, this wasn't easy to do but my friend
Per Lindh wrote
this program that will fix the problem. Put it in the
startup-folder, you may also add a hotkey to the program since it will stop
working occasionally.
