[XFree86] Sync-On-Green option
What is the meaning of the syncongreen option which can be inserted into a Monitor Section? Thank you! -- Bonny - Registered Linux User #251752 --- VB LUG Moderator --- BREAKFAST.COM halted... cereal port not responding. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

There are, however, converters that go between the monitor and video card that can change VGA into sync-on-green or composite. The schematics are simple. I have an NVidia Geforce2 MX card, how may I check whether or not it supports syncongreen? -- Bonny - Registered Linux User #251752 --- VB LUG Moderator --- Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [XFree86] Still messin around with ModeLines...

In fact if you want to eliminate any doubt that a custom mode you specify is the one getting used, give it an unusual name :-). That makes it easy to check for it in the XFree86 log file. We definitely need to see that log file to see what's going on here. Here some info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]$ cat XFree86.0.log|grep SOG (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode SOG (hsync out of range) (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode SOG (no mode of this name) What do you mean? Or do you need some more excerpts from my logfile?

Re: [XFree86] Where to set modelines?

Now... some more questions.. (I'm a bit confused, XFree and its config files are pretty scary and new to me!!!)... What if I don't create a [Section Modes] and I just add the ModeLine I need to use directly to the [Section Monitor]? And what does it mean what you wrote above? I mean: using two screens?!? Would it be like having 2 different set-ups and I could select the one I need in relation to _which_ monitor I actually connected to the PC? Is there a way to switch between them as it's possible to switch between different sizes (like 800x600, 1024x768, etc.) without having to restart X or reboot? Thank you... BTW: as I don't know the hoizontal and vertical frequency ranges, what should I put in HorizSync and VertRefresh for my Monstrum? -- Bonny - Registered Linux User #251752 --- VB LUG Moderator --- Computers run on faith, not electrons. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

OK... now I'll explain WHY I have to do this, so maybe you can tell me an easier way to achieve what I need to! I'm actually happily using my 15 LCD Monitor and everything runs clean. Now, as I have lying around a big old fat DIGITAL WORKSTATION Monitor (19 with BNC inputs on RGB, Sync-On-Green-driven), I'd like to use this one! I already have a ModeLine written for that Monitor (it worked already with RedHat 7.1 which, AFAIR, had XFree 3.x), and I just want to use it with my BIG Monitor. Now the thing is: I'd like to be able to correctly use my 15 LCD _while_ I adjust the settings for the bigger monstrum. So I wouldn't want to mess with the settings unless they would be usable with my 15 LCD Monitor too. Did you understand? Can you tell me which way to proceed?
