Mode Validation question

2004-04-04 Thread Mark Vojkovich
Lets say you have a DFP with a fixed resolution and therefore can't run modes with an HDisplay or VDisplay beyond that. What's the most efficient way to validate those modes? I see that xf86ValidateModes will check pScrn-maxHValue and pScrn-maxVValue for HTotal and VTotal and it supports

I'm suspicious of your diagnosis. But why don't you just turn DPMS off. It's off by default. It had to be specified explicitly in the XF86Config in order to turn it on in the first place. A DPMS related problem would be a video card driver specific one. Mark. On
