ATI Radeon 7500. I am running XP Pro, tried SP 1 and 2, Asus P4B MB, Sony
E200 monitor,
latest driver from ATI downloaded today. When I set the resolution to
1024X768 or higher the monitor will not come out of standby mode. At lower
resoulitions it works fine and in Linux it works fine at all resolutions.
Used to work on 2000 but now I have the same problems on 2000. Since it
works in Linux it leads me to believe hardware is fine. Any Ideas?

Try setting to 16-bit, rather than 32-bit, see what happens.

Have you tried an older driver? Or possibly the OMEGA driver?

Havent tried that. I have the CD that came with the card. I could
uninstall the current one and try the old one as long as XP is willing.
What is the Omega driver?

Sounds like you have the monitor max settings too
low. Look under "displays".

Refresh rate is set to 85 if that is what you are referring to.

Just tried both. Neither corrected the problem. Thank you for the
suggestions and if you think of anything else please post it.

Try different refresh rates of the monitor.

How about disabling standby mode, and just use a screen saver?
