 Ever since Debian went to the nouveau video driver for Nvidia, I have

 an error dialog box that says, Sorry: You have requested a mode-line
 that is not possible, or not supported by your hardware configuration.

You were told some good tips about this same issue in your e-mail of June 
17th. Did you try any of them? :-?
 
 This didn't happen with the old nv driver.  Does anyone know a fix
 other than reinstalling nv?

Dunno what are the xvidtune capabilities, but xorg.conf is still 
usable and you can define there whatever settings you need to position 
your monitor.

You can use cvt tool to calculate the modelines for your display.

You don't give any information about this, but it sounds like you'll 
need to reinstall your nVidia driver.  If you downloaded it from the 
site - i.e. non-free - you will probably have to run it using the shell 
script to reinstall it.  I often find when I've done a X-server library 
update, that that is all that is required to get things working again.  
If this is your situation too, then don't forget to close down the 
X-server otherwise it won't work.

Dear All,

Xvidtune does just that. I can position the image anywhere I like on the
screen. The problem is that I don't see any way to save these settings. I
can get the image properly centered afgter hittings the apply button,
but there is no save, and next time I boot up my new improved settings
are gone.
Xvidtune with the -show option produces these settings:

  800x600  49.50800  816  896 1056600  601  604  625 +hsync

I tried editing file /etc/X11/XF86Config to make these settings permanent,
but that doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure what else to try, and I'd
appreciate any suggestions.
TIA,
Robert

Editing XF86Config works for me. Please post exactly where you edited 
XF86Config. The changes should go in the 'Monitor' Section. But you must 
pick the correct line to change. If you wish, send me your XF86Config 
file  I will try to find where your changes should go.

Good luck

 Resulta que la pantalla aparece corrida a la izquierda en woody y si lo

 corrida a la derecha, estuve buscando cual podia ser la solución y encontre en

 problema viene cuando quiero guardar su configuración. Según un mensage
 publicado en esta lista se debe cargar xvidtune desde una terminal grafica
 para, luego de acomodar con los comandos del programa, presionar show eso
 mostrará en la shell los cambios que deben ser insertados en XF86Config. Bien,
 el problema es: supongo que este mensage esta bastante viejo porque XF86Config
 no existe más, yo tengo XF86Config-4 pero no encontre ninguna linea parecida
 como para cambiarla. Esta todo dividido en secciones!. ¿Alguien me puede decir
 donde pongo esas lineas?.
 
 Muchas gracias.
 
en la seccion del monitor hay que poner el
Modeline, me explico, si xvidtune suelta la línea

cuando presionas show
y la seccion es de monitor es
 
Section Monitor

tienes que dejarlo así:

El Modeline es una línea, lo digo por si sale cortada en el mail

Re: xvidtune

2002-08-03 Thread Carlos Viglietta
si haces un show antes de cambiar nada, te va a imprimir la linea
actual. buscala en el XF86Config y cambiala por la nueva.

Con respecto a la sintaxis, muy simple. Tenés dos opciones:

 -.lee el manual!!: $ man XF86Config(-v3|-v4); o

 -.mirá con detenimiento el XF86Config y vas a ver una 200 Modeline.
Fijate que son iguales a las que te tira el xvidtune, (excepto que les
falta la palabra Modeline al principio). investigá un poco!! (con
todo respeto)

   rubbish I've told it to try).
  
 
  OK, you run xvidtune, from an xtermas/rxvt, and you get the display
  like you want it.  Then click the 'show' button and the settings will
  be printed to the xterm screen.  Do that for all of the different
  resoltions.  Write them down!  Then transfer them to your xf86config-4
  file.
 
 Sorry, what I mean is: I've got the values from xvidtune - where do I
 insert them in my XF86Config-4?  The relevant (I think) part is...

First put the resolution values in the order that you might prefer to
use them as you can change them from the keyboard using CTRL ALT + or
minus to cycle thru the different sizes. Then add the following to the
same area of the XF86Config-4 file: Virtual   800 600 or what ever size
you want to start with.

This is snipped from one of my running systems as an example. I strongly
suggest that you proceed carefully as you will have better results if
you use a running XF98Config-4 file from YOUR system instead of simply
trying to use one from someone else. Good Luck!!!

Yeah, I know, there's a few good deals here in the UK for refurb. 17.
I have a very very very small flat - and my girlfriend would lynch me if
I bought something that would take up half the room :(

I sorted out XF86Config-4 tho.  It was the UseModes line, if I add the
required numbers after ModeLine.
ModeLine800x600 50.00 etc

And don't add anything else it works fine.  Something so simple...

Thanks

Forgot to add XF86Config :)

 Dear All,
 
 I've just installed Potato 2.2r6 and can't get my screen right.  I had
 this problem a year or so ago when I last installed Debian - but I can't
 remember how I did it.
 
 I've upgraded to XFree 4.0.2 from a Libranet CD and the screen is fine
 except it is an inch or two off-centre.  I used xvidtune to get the
 numbers, and entered them into XF86Config-4.  But... no screens found.
 I'm sorry, but I must be missing something really obvious.  The lines
 starting with the # are mine.  This runs as it is, but crashes with I
 delete my #.
 
 What am I missing?

to redo your XF86Config file.  You could edit the file by hand but it
sounds like you have more than a couple changes going on here.

By default, the current directory is NOT one of the places that the system
will look for an executable.  Try giving it a complete pathname
/something/somthing/Xvidtune.  Or cd to the directory and enter ./Xvidtune.

That specifies that the executable is in the current directory.

1.) Is it installed? locate xvidtune is a fast way
2.) You probably want to run it as root. Not shure about that, though

 When I run xvidtune, it works for the time being.  When I exit X then
 launch X again it's back to what it was before I ran xvidtune.  How can
 I get xvidtune to save the changes it makes?

Run as:
xvidtune /tmp/my.settings
To save your setting do: `show'`quit' and extract mode line from
/tmp/my.settings to /etc/X11/XF86Config.

1997-12-31 Thread Alex Yukhimets
 When I run xvidtune, it works for the time being.  When I exit X then
 launch X again it's back to what it was before I ran xvidtune.  How can
 I get xvidtune to save the changes it makes?

No other way then to click on show and then paste the modeline shown
into your XF86Config file manually.

 Anyone know what the problem is here?  when I run xvidtune I get 'Please

 is it in the xcontrib?  if so, is there a xproc which does not depend on
 that elf-x11lib?? package?

This is related to the slew of messages regarding netscape et al not working.
xvidtune is looking in /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 for the app-defaults directory
and not finding it (probably cause /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 doesn't exist).  This
only happens with the latest xlib6g (read unstable) so, as has been said
before, you should subscribe to debian-devel :)

My fix was:

ln -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/i486-linuxlibc1

I don't know if the use of /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 was intentional and haven't 
filed a bug on it, however the only package *I* see that includes
/usr/i486-linuxlibc1 is lesstif (the libc5 comaptibile relation to lesstifg)

Yipes!  That's very wrong, and you don't want to link through the X11
dir, as at least one package was (incorrectly) using that.

Safest is:
cd /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11
for i in XErrorDB XKEYsymDB locale ; do
  ln -s ../../../$i $i
done

All the libc5 packages in hamm that have libc6 versions use this
directory.

Yes, and I held down the shift key too long when typing XKey.  So do:

cd /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11
for i in XErrorDB XKeysymDB locale app-defaults ; do
  ln -s ../../../X11R6/lib/X11/$i $i
done

The next version of xlib6g will fix this.

Thanks for the tip: will change that right now.

 All the libc5 packages in hamm that have libc6 versions use this
 directory.

Then someone (me ?) should log a bug against xlib6 cause it doesn't.  It
loads everything into /usr/lib/libc5-compat.  First I'd seen of 
/usr/i486-linuxlibc1 was when the xlib6 libraries started using it
*at run-time*.

Sorry, all the libc5 _development_ packages in hamm that have libc6
versions use this directory.  The runtime shared libs go into
/usr/lib/libc5-compat.  This was a design error, btw, but it's too
late to change.

That still makes the current behaviour of xlib6 a bug (ie loading into
one directory but searching another).  Being (as yet) unfamiliar with the bug 
tracking system, I have no idea if it's been reported to the maintainer.
Guess I should go look when I get a tuit or two...

PS Are your direct replies to me bouncing or aren't you cc-ing me? (no big 
deal: just trying to establish the quality of my firewall-bastardised e-mail)
