Re: modelines...wasn't aware I needed any. I don't think Jarod has any Modelines in his xorg.conf. Please advise.On Apr 4, 2005 10:48 AM, Dewey Smolka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hmmmm. I don't see any modelines in this file, which could be causing
the problem. You can use xorgcfg and xorgconfig (/usr/X11R6/bin
probably) to autogenerate an xorg.conf file, which should give you
autodetected modelines.
You sould also compare your nvidia xorg file to your original working
file and see what has changed. Specifically you want to look for lines
that look like:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor1"
VendorName "Generic"

* NOTE: these values are for a laptop screen, so don't try to use them
for your Dell. Running the xorgcfg or xorgconfig files will generate
the right modelines for your monitor.
You should also see these lines in your working xorg.conf
As I said before it is unlikely that you need the nvidia xorg.conf
unless you're using the TV-out. If you're only running to a monitor
(which will make setup a bit easier, especially working on the command
line) you're fine keeping the original xorg.conf.
