The Red Hat lists are a better place to discuss Red Hat, but I will say that once you get RH8 installed you can play with the RPMs built from XFree CVS that have better support for lots of things.

My understanding is that the BIOS is used to actually set the video modes, since the necessary information which would enable XFree to do it itself has not been released. Thus only modes that the BIOS knows about can be set. Since the BIOS doesn't say that it knows anything about a 1400x1050 mode, there's no way for XFree to set that mode. (I also have some i830 machines running XFree CVS, but they only have 1024x768 screens so I'm spared this particular problem.) - J< ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

I happen to disagree (and my users disagree even more strongly, since ghostscript doesn't even have an interface to speak of, and xdvi is really difficult to make sense of). But what does that have to do with the fact that the apps have been ported? It was a statement of fact, not a statement of advocacy. Nobody has removed the old versions, and I don't believe that anyone argued for doing so. - J< ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Re: [Xpert]Reliability of DDC?
> "MV" == Mark Vojkovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: MV>I was under the impression that most KVMs broke the DDC signal. My cheap Startech four port KVM doesn't; I've not had a problem doing DDC through it until now. And even now, Red Hat's Xconfigurator still doesn't seem to have any trouble (or maybe I've just been lucky with it). I'm confused as to why the I2C "DDC:ddc2" device comes and goes twice when it works and once when it doesn't. Is the first just a check for the presence of DDC, and the second an actual read of the information? Is there an easy way to get more verbose information from the ddc or i2c modules? - J< ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
[Xpert]Reliability of DDC?
How sensitive is DDC to things like the video cable or the presence of KVM switches? I just encountered a situation where DDC worked randomly when run through a KVM but worked fine when directly connected to the monitor. I've never seen any problem like this with 30 previous identical machines plugged into the same KVM. (I can tell it doesn't work because without it, the DPI defaults to 75 which makes the fonts come out too small.) OS is stock Red Hat 7.2 with updates, XFree 4.1.0 plus whatever Red Hat does to it. Hardware is an Nvidia GF2Ultra. I'm running the nv driver, not the binary Nvidia one. I thought that DDC was just a low speed serial connexion and thus should be pretty robust. I notice no loss of video clarity and no noise through the KVM, so perhaps it's much more sensitive than I believed. For completeness, here's a diff of two logs: one where DDC worked and another where it didn't: --- b Wed Apr 10 17:22:27 2002 +++ c Wed Apr 10 17:22:44 2002 @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ Build Host: stripples.devel.redhat.com Module Loader present -(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Wed Apr 10 17:22:16 2002 +(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Wed Apr 10 17:22:36 2002 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, @@ -321,58 +321,6 @@ (II) NV(0): I2C bus "DDC" initialized.

[Xpert]DVI support summary
>>>>> "MV" == Mark Vojkovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: [Does the nv driver support DVI output] MV> It does not. This does not seem to be documented anywhere. Fortunately I've not yet placed the large order for video cards and panels I'm working on and I can get some more information. So, is there anywhere I can find a summary of DVI support in various available XFree drivers? Do the binary Nvidia drivers support DVI output, at full resolution? I'm pretty sure they handle DVI at 1280x1024, but I have a Viewsonic VP201mb on the way and it has a native resolution of 1600x1200. What about the Samsung 240T (24", 1920x1200 resolution, drool)?
