As X usually starts in the HIGHEST supported resolution, it appears that your config is broken for anything better than 320x240. This usually happens when the server thinks that it does not have access to enough video memory, or the proper clock rates. Run superprobe and see what it finds. You may have to set the memory and clock rates by hand in XF86Config if the probing fails. Make sure that your monitor is proper for the desired dot freqs (ie scan rates fast enough), and configure your monitor properly in XF86Config. Have you used XF86Setup to create your config file. This was the easiest way for me to get mine going. ------------------------------------------------------
hey, I recently got a new system, and decided that maybe this time my video card(now an STB nVidia, Riva 128 chipset, with 8 megs of vram)...anyway, I get it setup with XF86Setup and do startx, it starts, but in 320x240 resolution, I tried doing alt+ctrl+ +or- but that wouldn't work...after that I tried to set up the resolutions in XF86Config, but it still ends up small, any explanation for why? -->this is with debian 1.31 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
