Arg. Ubuntu/Mint drove me nuts telling me I cannot do things with my own
system, and SUSE is just as almost working as ever. So, I think I'm going to
give Mandriva a try for a while. I'm using the Mandriva One 2007 live CD,
and all is great except for one minor issue. Everything is fuzzy because my
refresh rates are set out of wack.
It automatically sets them to:
HorizSync 15-94
VertRefresh 24-88
The should be set to:
HorizSync 50.0-65.3
VertRefresh 60.0-75.0
I changed that, but nothing is ever that simple. After restarting X, my
maximum resolution drops from 1650x1080 to 1280x1024 (or somewhere around
there). It looks great (no fuzz) except for the part where it's a tiny
square in the middle of my screen.
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Help me out here. Make all the suggestions you want. I'm running on a live
CD, and can back-up and restore files without X, so no harm can be done.
Here is the xorg.conf that it automaticllay generates (with incorrect
refresh rates):
