Morning ALL -
I need to ask this question again, not sure if i saw a response directly
answering this, tho i have seen alot of chatter on the list about X.
First off, i am running RHL5.0 with kernel 2.0.33 just FYI.
I ran xf86config to configure the following components:
ps/2 mouse w/o 3-button support
XKB support
standard 101-keyboard
hsync of 30-66 (as recommended in the monitors manual)
vsync of 50-100
vidcard selected was #255 which is an Orchid Kelvin 64 with a
CL-GD5434 chipset
using XF86_SVGA server
no selected RAMDAC
no clockchip setting
and no probing
mode resolutions used:
"800x600" for 8bpp
"800x600" for 16bpp
none for 24bpp
none for 32bpp
(to try to 'force' x into an 800x600 mode)
All goes well up to this point. Then i 'startx' and receive the
following on the screen (my appologies in advance for sending all this
data, but i have been tweaking this and trying to get it to run for some
time and -still- have a problem):
XFree86 Version 3.3.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: August 4 1997
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.0.31 i686 [ELF]

--> at this point i get into x but as you can see it defaults to a
320x200 resolution and everything is HUGE!!! i mean like icons that
are 2" x 1" (major laugh here!!) And i shut down with the
ctrl-alt-backspace and exits normally
xinit: connection to X server lost.
waiting for X server to shut down
[hunter@niteowl hunter]$
ANYONE have any ideas, suggestions, or hints???? this has been driving
me nuts for sometime, and believe it or not...i had the same problem in
RHL4.2 but amazing got it fixed, just when i upgraded to RHL5.0 it got
hosed again and i cannot remember how i fixed it.
