Elonex Monitor: help with H- & V-Sync?
Hi
I've got slackware on my box (server this time), and everything is set up lovely. My SCSI drives are working a charm, CDRW is happy, etc. However, X won't play nice. It won't let me have a resolution larger than 800*600. Now, I've set LILO to boot at 1024*768, which it does happily. I've gone through xf86config countless times, passing different information to it, and every time the same thing happen - xFce runs at 800*600, and way off to the right. With some configs I can get it to sit correctly on the screen, but no matter what I do, X just won't do 1024. On advice I found on this board to another question, I entered fbset from the CLI after boot, and it gave me the following information: Code:
1024*768 - 76 Can anyone help? |
Those are the current horizontal and verticle settings of the framebuffer. You'd most likely want to enter a range in XF86Config, whatever your monitor is made to handle (the users guide will state these settings).
Since Slack 9.1 comes with a fairly recent version of XF86, run X -configure and try the file it creates. It might take some tweaking for mouse support and the like. Usually, it gets the rest right though, or sets it to autodetect. |
Nope, didn't help. Still stuck at 800x600. Though it did find my ATI card, which was nice.
Still no 1024x768, however. :cry: Any other ideas? :scratch: |
Are there any software packages that might be able to search for monitor settings?
Can nobody help? |
