Hi all. I'm currently running Mdk 8.1 in a Dell machine with a ATI (MACH 64) video card and a P990 Monitor. Mdk upon istallation doesn't present me with an 1152x864 resolution option; it jumps from 1024x768 to 1280x1024.
The 1152 option is the best resolution for me, since the 1280 one flickers a little bit. I used 1152 for a long time in Caldera OL. Well, observing the list I got to know the XFree86 -configure option and tryied that as root, saving the file to /root/XF86Config. Then, I tryied XFree86 -xf86configfile /root/XF86Config and it brought up X in the desired resolution, although no Window Manager came up, just raw X. Then, if I reboot, it doesn't go in runlevel 5 anymore, the logs telling that /root/XF86Config contain errors (??). How did the default boot got pointed to /root/XF86Config if I only tested it with the -xf86configfile option? Also, the Mandrake generated XF86Config file contain modelines for the monitor; since X release 4+ doesn't require that, I tryied to remove those lines but it complains. And in /etc/X11 there are XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files. Caldera used the "-4" file, where Mdk seems to be using the one without the "-4"... This is a lot disturbing. Can anyone help? Thanks, Cid. ===== "It said it uses Windows 95 or better, so I loaded Linux!" _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
