OK, so that's right out. On reflection, I didn't think it would be allowed. 24 is what you want.

This is why your screen is black! What made you think this tube could do this? An older one would have caught fire and burned down your house. Scroll up a few lines. Your AMT monitor was made in December 1999. The screen is 32X24 cm. The serial number is 4144. There's a long list of modes that it's capable of, but it ends with "1280x1024@75Hz" and "1152x870@75Hz". A little bit further down XFree86 tells you a list of modes that it won't try because the tube just told it that it couldn't do them. That list includes "1920x1440". But that (**) at the beginning of the line says that you insisted that it should try "1920x1440": 234.0 MHz, 90.0 kHz, 60.0 Hz. Fortunately, your monitor is smart enough just to go black, rather than blow smoke. Wow, this i2c/ddc/Plug'n'Play stuff is fantastic, and XFree86 copies it all into the log file for all to see. Try setting up an old Workstation monitor from 1992 that you have only the vaguest "probable" specs for. > (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1920x1440" 234.00 1920 2048 2256 2600 1440 1441 1444 >1500 -hsync +vsync > (--) RADEON(0): Display dimensions: (32, 24) cm > (--) RADEON(0): DPI set to (152, 152) -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
