Dear all, I got X setup OK (using XF86Setup), and then set start-xdm in the config file, but xdm dies horribly (from the error log):
(--) Mach64: Mode "1024x768" needs hsync freq of 35.57 kHz. Deleted. <a bit later> (--) Mach64: There is no mode definition named "1024x768" Fatal server error: No valid modes found. Now my XF86Config file: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Primary Monitor" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 31.5-31.5,35.15-35.15,35.5-35.5 VertRefresh 55-90 Modeline "1024x768" 44.96 1024 1048 1208 1264 768 776 784 817 +hsync +vsync interlace EndSection These were all made by XF86Setup, and indeed it worked OK when Setup ran it's little auto-test. So why doesn't it work now? and indeed, would fiddling the HorizSync rate be OK or am I going to blow my monitor?
