Hi guys,
I've got a problem with display.
My monitor is Fujitsu FMV-DP844 and Graphics card is Trident 3DImage 9750,system is Mandrake8.2.
It can't display in 800X600 16dpp 75Hz. But in windows98,it can display well in 800X600 32dpp 85Hz.
I really need your advice. Can show me how to do it ?

The following picture shows you in 800X600 16dpp 75Hz:

Look in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file and look for depth, see if you can add the 16 in there.

try using the xserver in console mode.you should be able to modify

bulin · 01-11-2003, 08:35 PM

I don't know what to do? Can you tell me?

ovi.ro · 01-12-2003, 05:41 AM

well.first you have to enter the console mode(ctrl+alt+F1orF2;alt+F1orF2)then log in as root if you are not already loged in.change the xserver to init 3 by typing init 3(then press enter)then type startx.press enter again.it should apear the config window wher you can make all the settings that you need.you can use instead of startx the command xf86config4 allways in console mode.

Thanks BxBoy and ovi.ro!
