Your idea about testing a few mode lines is normally a good idea.My idea is quite the opposite - to try *without* even the Modes line in SubSection "Display". Can you try that please?Doesn't work either. a) If I drop the "monitor" line in the Screen section it chooses a[...]quoted
b) If I just drop the HorizSync and VertRefresh entries, it fails as well:[...] Which part of 'the Modes line in SubSection "Display"' is so hard to understand? *shrug*Do you want me to change this (1024x768): ? SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection
Not change it, remove it (hence 'without'). I suspect the problem is that you're misunderstanding the meaning of this line. It tells the X server to try all the 1024x768 modes from its internal mode database, none of which match the mode of your framebuffer device unsurprisingly. If you omit the line, the fbdev driver will get the current mode from the framebuffer device and try that. Note that the pixclock 0 can still cause trouble with X servers before the upcoming 1.5 release. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Linux-fbdev-devel mailing list Linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-fbdev-devel
