Hi,
How can I learn how to tell Hal about my monitor's frequencies so I
can fix the resolution?
Running Debian sid. I have spent lots of time Googling, etc. with no
answers.
FWIW the monitor is a Dell 770
Horizontal scan range : 30 - 70 kHz (automatic)
Vertical scan range : 50 - 160 Hz (automatic)
TIA for any ideas,
Paul Scott
hi paul,
read this thread with much intererest. i knew the same problem. several
times i installed lenny on different (3 year old) mmachines with no
other possibility than a maximum resolution of 800x600. frustrating. i
could solve it with the sgfxi-script for my nvidia-chip(s).
i agree with the remarks in a former thread in which dirk loud and clear
asks for a decoupling of hal and udev (for the time being)
a couple of months ago i pleaded for a return to the system of
xserver-xfree86 when with the dpkg-reconfigure command all the
possibilities i.c. were offered 'on a tray' as a manner of speaking.
some kind soul gave me than a eschatological answer: 'things will be
better soon' (but they are not yet).
i am sorry i can not help you further out,
kind regards,
steef
