x is giving me trouble with horizontal sync
 

i've just installed slackware 10.1 on my desktop, im running slack 10.1 on my laptop pretty nicely but my desktop is something else.

x has never given me trouble, but now, its about the
Horizontal Sync or something like that.

i got an HP pavillion, with an M70 monitor, and a 32 mb tnt2 card.

i get this error message:

"the horizsync keyword must be followed by a list of numbers or ranges"

when i look into the xorg.conf file, this is what i got on section monitor

HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0
HorizSync 13619 - 0
VertRefresh 50 - 120

what could be wrong?

if anybody has the same kind of monitor, and a 3 button mouse, send me your xorg.conf file :D , but still, it be nice to know how to fix it.

help much appreciated.

try after removing this line

HorizSync 13619 - 0

regards

well i've tried it.

i also forgot to mention that the error is a parse error on line 49, if i erase that line, or comment it, it says the same thing but for line 48

i never thought x was so hard... :confused:

can u send me ur xorg.conf file
this is my email id

linux4all[at]gmail[dot]com

yeah, i'd send it, if i knew how...

im writing this from my laptop, not my desktop.

what app should i use to send an e-mail from the terminal, or better yet, how do i "connect" to my desktop, i've never done filesharing on linux, it be a good way to start...

what do u have on ur laptop linux or windows?

i got linux on my laptop

yay! i fixed it!

well, it seems i just needed to take out the second line of the horizontal value, and leave the other one as is... im running my xcfe from my desktop now :D

thts what i memtioned in my first post

when i asked u to remove this line
HorizSync 13619 - 0

regards

thanx a lot man
