Re: [XFree86] cannot run Xinstall.sh

2004-08-10 Thread Paul Nielsen
You might need to type ./Xinstall.sh, if you're not, even after changing 
to the directory where it is.  Otherwise you have to set up the path.

'man chmod' , and learn about $PATH ;)

Re: [XFree86] X configuration for a 25Khz arcade monitor

2003-11-18 Thread Paul Nielsen




You might study http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO/
It has most of the details. The refresh is (dot clock Hz)/(total x *
total y) and the scan is dot clock Hz)/(total x --the largest number in
the x part of the modeline) There may be limitations on the graphic
card and the monitor, of course.

I've played around with the modeline generator at
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl, but I haven't
been able to come up with a modeline at exactly 25KHz. Simplest
I could get away with was somewhere between 30 and 31KHz. I
have my doubts whether you can run resolutions that high *cough*
at a frequency that low.

  
  
I still have a question about this (a silly one because I don't
know much about technical details related to video frenquencies)

Why isn't it possible to run this resolution at a lower frequency
and why isn't possible to run a lower resolution (eg 256x224) at
a higher frequency (25Khz) ? Where is the limitation ?
In the graphics cards or is it simply the way frequencies should work ?
If the limitation is about graphic card, does exists some special cards
which allows to do such things ?

PS: sorry for these newbie questions, but I previously googled a lot on
this subject and found nothing, i'm deseperated :)

[XFree86] Dell M60 1680x1050 LCD has ripples

2003-11-16 Thread Paul Nielsen
We have two Dell Precision M60 with WSXGA screen and NVIDIA QuadroFXGo 
700 chipset. 

I have Mandrake 9.2 installed, and the NVIDIA XFree86 Driver 1.0-4363, 
built for this kernel. 

With the modeline:

Modeline 1680x1050 145.2 1680 1784 1968 2200 1050 1051 1054 1100

(This gives exactly 60Hz--any other refresh rate is worse, and the 
windows XP driver reports 60 Hz.)

startx will start a windows session, but after a few seconds the edges 
of the windows, and text within develops ripples along the vertical 
edges, and it gradually becomes worse.  When X windows is killed, the 
display may continue to be slightly ripply for a short while.  The 
Xvidtune doesn't find any good settings.

Does anyone know if this LCD panel requires other special settings of 
the NVIDIA driver, or some other modeline?

Thanks,
