LG Flatron Monitor

Neo-Leper · 07-12-2007, 07:00 PM

I need some simple info. I just got an LG Flatron L196WTQ 19" Flat, Wide Screen monitor. I can set it all up just fine through fstab. But it is telling me the total Frequency is 60Hz. In fstab it has the vertical and horizontal. Is there a way to take the 60Hz and somehow figure out what the vertical and horizontal is? I hope I explained this right. I am in the middle of a few things right now and pressed for time. Thanks. (Also the resolution for this monitor is 1440x900.)

I take it you mean the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if this is your monitor then try this for the settings.

Code:

# LG Flatron L196WTQ
Section "Monitor"
       Identifier   "Monitor0"
       VendorName   "LG"
       ModelName    "Flatron L196WTQ"
       HorizSync    30-83
       VertRefresh  56-75
       Option       "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Changing the Identifier "Monitor0" to match what is in your original configuration file (which you should have backed up so your can restore if problems) then restart the X server. Logging out to your display manager then using the CTRL + ALT + Backspace keys at the same time will do this or if at the command line then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart. For the resolution you would use something like below for your screen section using your section and its naming as your guide.

Code:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth  24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1440x900"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

""I take it you mean the /etc/X11/xorg.conf ""

Yes, that is what I meant, not fstab, LMAO.

Thank you, that is the monitor. The settings work perfectly.

Edit: Now that I think of it. I better check the other computer I was working on and see if the xorg.conf file is ok, and the fstab file is what it is suppose to be

lol.
