Screen scolling problem / resolution issue? - Mdk 9.2
Hi. This problem suddenly raised it's head after I had installed the Radeon drivers from the ATI site.
I have a Radeon 9200, and have managed (i think) to get it working.. at least HardDrake seems to think it is.. My major issue is that I can't seem to fit 1024 screen resolution on my monitor - I get a scrolling effect, both to the right and downwards. I know the monitor supports 1024 (a Samtron 55e, it's set up as plug'n'play). It's almost like something thinks that my resolution should be 800x600 (which fits fine) Any help would be gratefully accepted (bear in mind I've only been using linux for 1 week now) Here are the relevant sections of my XF86Config4 file: Section "Monitor" Identifier "monitor1" VendorName "Plug'n Play" ModelName "Samsung Samtron 55(M)E (Plus)" HorizSync 30-61 VertRefresh 50-120 # Sony Vaio C1(X,XS,VE,VN)? # 1024x480 @ 85.6 Hz, 48 kHz hsync ModeLine "1024x480" 65.00 1024 1032 1176 1344 480 488 494 563 -hsync -vsync # TV fullscreen mode or DVD fullscreen output. # 768x576 @ 79 Hz, 50 kHz hsync ModeLine "768x576" 50.00 768 832 846 1000 576 590 595 630 # 768x576 @ 100 Hz, 61.6 kHz hsync ModeLine "768x576" 63.07 768 800 960 1024 576 578 590 616 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "device1" BoardName "ATI Radeon (fglrx)" Driver "fglrx" Option "DPMS" Option "CenterMode" "off" Option "TVHSizeAdj" "0" Option "FSAAMSPosY0" "0.000000" Option "FSAAMSPosY4" "0.000000" Option "FSAAMSPosX4" "0.000000" Option "FSAACustomizeMSPos" "no" Option "TVColorAdj" "0" # === OpenGL Overlay === # Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay # will be disabled automatically Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" Option "FSAAMSPosY3" "0.000000" # === Video Overlay for the Xv extension === Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "TVVPosAdj" "0" # === TV-out Management === Option "NoTV" "yes" Option "TVVSizeAdj" "0" Option "FSAAMSPosY2" "0.000000" Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M" Option "TVHStartAdj" "0" Option "TVHPosAdj" "0" Option "VRefresh2" "unspecified" Option "FSAADisableGamma" "no" Option "GammaCorrectionI" "0x00000000" Option "ForceGenericCPU" "no" # === disable PnP Monitor === #Option "NoDDC" Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no" # === QBS Support === Option "Stereo" "off" # === OpenGL specific profiles/settings === Option "Capabilities" "0x00000000" # === disable/enable XAA/DRI === Option "no_accel" "no" Option "FSAAMSPosX0" "0.000000" Option "MonitorLayout" "AUTO, AUTO" Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on" Option "FSAAMSPosY5" "0.000000" # === Misc Options === Option "UseFastTLS" "0" Option "no_dri" "no" Option "FSAAMSPosX2" "0.000000" Option "GammaCorrectionII" "0x00000000" Option "IgnoreEDID" "off" Option "FSAAMSPosX5" "0.000000" Option "FSAAMSPosY1" "0.000000" Option "StereoSyncEnable" "1" Option "FSAAMSPosX3" "0.000000" # === FireGL DDX driver module specific settings === # === Screen Management === Option "DesktopSetup" "0x00000000" Option "HSync2" "unspecified" Option "ScreenOverlap" "0" Option "FSAAMSPosX1" "0.000000" # === FSAA === Option "FSAAScale" "1" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "screen1" Device "device1" Monitor "monitor1" DefaultColorDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 15 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection EndSection |
Just to get this out of the way:
Could it be possible that you just need to do CTRL+ALT+(+/-)? If not (which I kinda doubt it would be), you might try changing all the "Virtual" lines to "Mode" lines (i.e Mode "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480") |
Thanks for the tip! You're right - it wasn't the ctrl-alt +-, it was the XF86 config file that needed altering
Basically I needed to add a modeline declaration for 1024x768 and then reference that in the Display subsection i.e. Modes "1024x768" - instead of Virtual 1024x768 Many thanks!! |
