Hi!
I have a problem with aligning display on my PC. I hav currently 3
systems instaled : windows, debian 3.1 and 4.0 recenly came be. I set up
a display under windows by monitor menu becouse under linux it can be
done by software and under windows it can't. Under 3.1 I've generated a
modeline
now works -- dunno which of the two
things I did above was the one responsible for fixing the breakage.
Now the problem is that X seems to ignore my modelines I need for my
1280x1024 fixed frequency monitor (the IBM_mode_1, 2, and 3 lines that
appear in the xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files att
My monitor stores its screen geometry adjustments in non-volatile
memory. It analyses the incoming video signal in order to select the
correct set of geometry settings for the video mode it's getting.
Unfortunately, it has a very small NVRAM and can only store settings
for 4 modes. X uses somewhat

I don't know why, but - on an old machine too - I had to correct
HorizSync and VertRefresh manually. The XFree documentation says that a
resolution does not work if it would exceed VertRefresh.
I asked the vendor homepage and the owner of the monitor and altered the
numbers :

I had a problem getting X-4 working with the modelines from X-3
until I changed them to the new format (man XF86Config). Below are
the relevant section that worked, after reading the man page.

Hi all,
I've calculated a modeline 1024x768x16 with a refresh rate at 100Hz, but
don't know where to put it in XF86Config-4. I've got only a standard
VESA Mode (1280x1024 or so at 86Hz). Some parts of my config file:

As far as I know Xfree4 is detecting this automatically (ddc). But - i.e.
when using a TV card, you can add your Modelines as usual.

ranges you provide (and clock info from card itself?).
you can overdrive these defaults by specifying your own modelines.

i got woody a few days ago. the screen is a bit narrow, so i went to edit
the modetimings in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. but they're not there!
where is X getting the modetiming definitions from? the old XF86Config
file?

My typical strategy for configuring X is to go through xf86config and then
try to start X many times deleting modelines from the XF86Config file when
they fail (my monitor stays black). This worked great for all of the 3.3

Hi Olaf, I don't what is wrong with the floppy installation method but,
Why don't you use PLIP for install the packages? Is a lot faster than

about that. I hope this can help you.
