Hi all,
I have an RHEL5 machine which had a working X11 config attached to an
old CRT monitor.
The monitor has given up the ghost, so we tried to plug in an LG L1953T
LCD display. Immediately we got the error "analog: out of range" on the
monitor, which is not too much of a surprise, X in theory needs to be
reconfigured.
_I_ am surprised, I've not had to reconfigure for a screen for some
time. Perhap you run a higher resolution than my eyes can cope with.
Pick and choose from this:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

It works fine on my LCD screens running Scientifiuc Linux 5 (A RHEL 5
clone).
Googling showed that we needed to run the following:
system-config-display --reconfig --noui
Trouble, is, this doesn't autodetect the monitor, and despite the
updated xorg.conf file, the error remains.
It seems that RHEL5 is capable of autodetecting the monitor during
initial system setup, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to redo
the X configuration process after the fact?
Is reconfiguring Xwindows this difficult or am I missing something
really obvious?
Does anyone know what command must be run to autodetect and set up X?
Give this a go:As root
X -configure
and if that works, take its advice.
Cheers
John
