20.1" Flat Panel LCD Artifacts @startup Problem


Getting Monitor Artifacts at XFCE startup issue: ATI Rage 128 Pro. Running Xfce with hugesmp.s kernel can't compile kernel if I cant get xorg configured right.

Do u think I shouldn't be using slackware12? Hope this is all not too much.

1. I don't know what my LCD Monitor Dot Frequency Clock is and there is no mention of it in its manual.

2. What is the refresh rate? Is it the same as monitor's response time, ie.25ms?

Monitor Auto Self adjusts, No software Driver. When I tried to generate a modeline using, (http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl this is what) I got:

Use this modeline at your own risk.
Modeline "1600x1200@59" 174.01 1600 1632 2288 2320 1200 1224 1236 1261
Horizontal sync frequency: 75 kHz
This is not encouraging!
Warning!
# Horizontal sync frequency below minimum of 79.976kHz!
# Horizontal sync frequency above maximum of 31.475kHz!
# Refresh rate below minimum of 75.024Hz!

Don't understand the Warning Lines? They don't make sense because the manual states Frequency range is: FH:31.469~79.97Khz
FV:59.9~75.0240Hz

What is more important to have the most accurate the Horizontal or Veritical refresh rates?

Issue this command.

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And copy/paste it to here. If using xterm, highlight the page by holding down the left mouse button, and paste with middle button.

Try running 'xorgsetup', it will help you get a usable configuration.

Do I run xorsetup as root or user? Maybe all I need is to enter Display Demensions and an accurate modeline? Thanks you guys are great.

It might just be that you need to set more exact horiz and vert refresh rates. So maybe change it to this:

HorizSync 31.475 - 79.976
VertRefresh 59.9 - 75.024


Or round them up rather than down.

1) Kernel compilation is not related to X.
2) Check /etc/X11 for xorg.conf~ or smth similar
Code:
cd /etc/X11
ls

There should be an 'xorg.conf.backup'.

You can also try xorgconfig but I recommend setting things manually.

Hi NightSky,

The xorg.conf that you posted had two device sections, one stating the driver was "vga" the other said "r128"
I think "r128" is the correct one, and personally I would comment out or remove the reference to vga in case the wrong driver is getting loaded.
You could check that the correct driver is being loaded (and for errors) by looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I am qcommandline beginner user.*

There is an xorgconfig backup file, but I don't know how to change it back? Please explain, like this:

1. Find the path in XFCE GUI
2. Logout of GUI
3. commandline su root
4.
Code:
 cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf
? 5. vi xorg.conf ?
? 6. delete the backup extension and replace it with what?
? 7. delete current xorgconfig ?
? 8. :wq ?

tobyl: "r128" is the correct driver for my video card.

I thought the following section is just for discriptive purposes?
# Graphics device sections:
# Standard VGA Device:"
Section "Device"
Identifier "Standard VGA"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Is the above just a discriptive example, automatically generated?


Should I remove # from videoram and what are clock lines?
# Device configured by xorgconfig:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI RAGE 128 PRO, 32M, AGP"
Driver "r128"
#VideoRam 32000 (remove # ..?)
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate (What are clock lines?)
EndSection

NightSky,

Lines beginning with # and whitespace are ignored, so you effectively have

Section "Device"
Identifier "Standard VGA"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "vga"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI RAGE 128 PRO, 32M, AGP"
Driver "r128"
EndSection

I believe the last entry will be the one thats used anyway, but its a good idea to keep things clean and simple, so comment out with # the entries you dont want.
The video memory entry is commented out by xorgconfig on purpose.You only need to uncomment it if the system reads the amount of video ram incorrectly

If you want to change a file's name from the command line, you use the mv command, something like this


su (root)
cd /etc/X11
mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old
mv xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf

edit: i'm not sure if Vendorname and Boardname are required entries or not (i doubt it) but in any case you can write whatever you like for those entries. Some xorg config programs interrogate the video card and put entries in there, but they are basically just informational if you only have one video card.

edit2:
Ok, one more thing, if you want to edit files from the command line, but are not used to vi or vim, it is just too much to master right now, you can learn that later. Instead use nano. Eg
(as root)
# nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

its as easy as notepad! (ctrl+x to exit)

Found EE and WW

Super Thanks, I am comfortable using Vi with Old Slackware Book instructions.
I am commands defficient.

Commenting out: Section "Device"
Identifier "Standard VGA"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "vga"
EndSection ---> resulted in no screen error...
Added video crd info and StartX worked. 1/4"-1/2" color artifact band across top of display persists. Found Display EE and WW - how do I fix them? Thanks
