Indra :
*> FYI, RHL 6.0 *does* come with XF86Setup, it also comes with another tool
*called the Xconfigurator.... While XF86Config
*> is definitely an opportunity to learn, it is not necessarily the best way
*for a beginner to face the innards of X
*> setup.
Amit :
*I couldn't find XF86Setup, and XF86Config exists as xf86config not
*XF86Config. I'll try Xconfigurator. According to a friend's instructions, I
*tried setupx, but that also doesn't exist. Surprisingly no help or command
*existed for 'unmount' also! Further, which monitor type should I select? My
*monitor is a BPL ER 14 CSV (yuck!!), and what is hsync rate and how do I
*find it out?
*
a )I think Indra was referring to the raw XF86Config file usually
residing at /etc/X11. That is a "kind" of .ini file for X
b) Are you talking about umount ?
c) import ilug-cal.std.disclaimer
Sync rates *usually* can be found in the skimpy booklet that comes
with your manual. I have never actually seen someone "fry" his
(her) monitor due to incorrect sync rates. There was a thread on
this in ilug-cal about 5-6 months back. But if the gurus say yes,
they fry.., then fry it must and probably will :) What I have
usually seen is that incorrect rates cause flickering which
renders the VDU useless but is recoverable (Ctrl_Alt_BkSpc).
d) Have you run SuperProbe ?
Happy SiSsing
