Re: Xfree86 Setup problem continued with changes
It's working now, I did have to set the HorizSync and VertRefresh info manually. Seems I recall reading something about X not needing those anymore after v4.1.0, but maybe not. Anyway, Thanks to all. -- Chip W [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote this stuff on Fri, 25 Oct 2002 09:13:18 -0400: At 10:35 PM 10/24/2002 -0700, you wrote: For what it's worth, I had a similar problem.

My /var/log/XFree86.0.log has this line (II) RADEON(0): Ranges: V min: 50 V max: 160 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 95 kHz, PixClock max 210 MHz which seems to be related to this nearby prior line (II) RADEON(0): I2C bus DDC initialized. Note that the lines have (II), not (**). I suppose that if your monitor supports the I2C/DDC protocol (AKA PnP?), then X can get the Ranges as above and use it. I had hand-entered the same numbers from the Monitor's spec sheet, so I don't know if it actually works automatically.

Anyway, I manually set the parameters in the XF86Config file, now it's working fine.
