xvidtune: how to make it changes permanently?

minike · 06-07-2005, 05:52 PM

hello again...
I spent hours and hours searching the web for the answer, without luck...
I found my monitor's user manual, so I set the propper sync's ...
I also discover xvidtune returns a string to modify the xf86.config file with it... but I haven't got such file, but one named xorg.conf.. the fact is xorg.conf doesn't have the string to replace..
The xf86config file should look somewhere like this:

Modeline "640x480" 45.8 640 672 768 864 480 488 494 530 -HSync -VSync
Modeline "800x600" 60.75 800 864 928 1088 600 616 621 657 -HSync -VSync
Modeline "1024x768" 75 1024 1048 1184 1328 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync
Modeline "320x240" 15.750 320 336 384 400 240 244 246 262 Doublescan
Modeline "640x400" 36 640 696 752 832 480 481 484 509 -HSync -VSync

(one of this lines should be replaced with the one that xvidtune returns after making the propper settings)
..but there's no counterpart of this lines in my xorg.config file!

...so... how to make the changes permanently?
where and what to modify??
thanksalot.

Put the lines in "Section Monitor". xorg.conf is the same as XF86Config. Here is mine:

Code:

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	VendorName	"TOS"
	ModelName	"TOS5082"
	HorizSync 15-45
	VertRefresh 30-62
	Modeline        "1024x768" 59.76 1024 1040 1216 1400 768 768 774 802
	Modeline        "800x600" 38.69 800 816 928 1072 600 600 606 626
	Modeline        "640x480" 24.76 640 656 720 864 480 480 486 501
EndSection
