The X server doesn't know any 640x870 modes. > By the way, the kernel argument video=ofonly gives me a good console. (I tried > video=atyfb:vmode:7 but only got garbage on the screen). Unfortunately, you can't use fbset -x to get a mode definition when you boot with video=ofonly (unless the fbdev driver at depth 8 is all you want maybe). The following mode definitions, which I've generated with the gtf tool that comes with recent XFree86 versions, may help (beware, my mailer breaks the second line): # 640x870 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 54.06 kHz; pclk: 45.84 MHz Modeline "640x870_60.00" 45.84 640 680 744 848 870 871 874 901 -HSync +Vsync # 640x870 @ 70.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 63.42 kHz; pclk: 54.79 MHz Modeline "640x870_70.00" 54.79 640 680 752 864 870 871 874 906 -HSync +Vsync # 640x870 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 68.10 kHz; pclk: 58.84 MHz Modeline "640x870_75.00" 58.84 640 680 752 864 870 871 874 908 -HSync +Vsync -- Earthling Michel D�nzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
