Widescreen Hz, Khz
I hope someone can help me. I purchased a new monitor, widescreen, and tried to configue it with my SUSE 10.1 machine. I did not understand what I was doing, so I never did get it right. My machine started acted strange which is a another problem, so I descided to just reinstall from scratch. The install configured my monitor for 1920x1200. When it tried to boot my monitor flased a message that it needed to be 1920x1200 @ 60Hz. From searching here I was able to change the xorg.conf file manually after doing the Ctl-Alt-F1 procedure. I changed the VertRefresh to 60. Rebooted and then I got a fuzzy, chopped, offcolor, shaky, not centered picture. I checked my manual and it says
Horizontal scan range 30 kHz to 81 kHz (automatic) Vertical scan range 56 Hz to 76 Hz, exception 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz only It also said in a table: Display Mode Horiz Freq (kHz) Vert Freq (Hz) Pixel Clock (MHz) Sync VESA, 1920 x 1200 74.0 60.0 154.0 +/- So I changed Horiz to 74. Now I get what appears to be like an old DOS window appear stating that you have no valid modes, would you like to see the X server log. The X server will not start. Please correct your configuration. Can anyone help me? I am at an end. Thanks. |
At the moment X does not really know about widescreen set ups by default. But you can tell it about them.
Hopefully you will have a little program on your machine called 'gtf'. It is used for calculating modelines. It is run from a terminal simple by 'gtf X Y refresh'. So for yours do 'gtf 1920 1200 60'. This would give results like this, Code:
bash-3.1$ gtf 1920 1200 56 Now you need to put this and some other info into your X config. I have a Samsung 172w, which is a 17inch widescreen running 1240x768@60hz. Below is the part of my xorg.conf that has been changed to make it work. You will have to change parts to suit yours. Code:
