There is a very good tutorial (IMHO) for Xfree at http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/os-dw-linuxxwin-i.html
Robert Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile way and you have their shoes. -----Original Message----- From: John Blance [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 29 September 2003 9:27 a.m. To: < Subject: XFree86 Help Anyone worked with specific modelines in XFree86? I have this problem After Deadbat 9.0 install X does not start - well X does start but the monitor complains that the frequency is incorrect. The install correctly detected both the S3 Savage onboard graphics and the Philips s107 Monitor. The settings for both in the X config file are correct [as far as i can tell] By removing the Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" line I can select resolutions that will display [Ctrl-Alt-+] but it loads _many_ different resolutions/modelines. I tried copying the Modelines from the XFree86.0.log file and configuring X to use them, but it all came unstuck.. Is there anyone that knows how to specify the modelines to use [and to stop X using the default ones] BTW a Modes "640x480" line works, but adding other resolutions seems to cause frequency problems.. Also BTW Knoppix 3.2 has the same problem.
