Re: How to find HorizSync / VertRefresh rates?
On 5/2/07, Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I feel the need to remind folks that the concept of refresh rates is completely meaningless with LCD panels. Flatpanels do not have a single scan gun that draws lines at a specific time and rate of speed across a phosphor. Well, the rates are both related to the video card, not the display. I'm not sure how the card feeds the image to an LCD display, but I guess that would depend on the enforced horizontal sync and vertical refresh rates. In any case, it's useful to have these rates if I should ever have the need to attach the card to an external CRT display. The computer in the LCD panel takes the video input at a range of refresh rates, and converts it to a bitmapped image that is fed to the display crystals. You can use whatever horizontal and vertical refresh rates you want, as long as they are in the table that the LCD panel's computer can decode, the resulting output is the same. Even though LCD displays don't flicker, it's useful to set the refresh as high as the panel is able to display, to get smooth transitions. I also will remind people that the pixel counts as resolution on flatpanels also have no meaning. A flat panel has a fixed natural resolution. Any other resolution that you feed to it is either dithered up or dithered down to match the actual resolution by the display computer in the flat panel. I'm well aware of that, but I would still like my video card and screen to perform to the best of their abilities, in order to display the biggest amount of data per second possible, without frying.

Hi all, I'm trying to create a pristine xorg.conf, but I've been unable to find proper values for HorizSync and VertRefresh for my Dell Latitude D610. I've tried the values presented in MonitorsDB http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/src/hwdata/MonitorsDB?view=markup for Dell 1400x1050 Laptop Display Panel, which are HorizSync 31.5-90.0 and VertRefresh 59.0-75.0, but I get a warning in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for both of them saying they are not within DDC ranges. I've tried looking around the Dell web pages, but I haven't found any pages mentioning these parameters (not too surprising, really). I've tried to leave these settings out, but even then I get a warning: (WW) I810(0): config file hsync range 60-66.3158kHz not within DDC hsync ranges. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the other warnings I get during startup: (WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum and (WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 failed. It seems that a DDC (or, apparently, DDS) query should be able to determine these numbers, but cd /usr/ports make search name=ddc make search name=dds doesn't give any tools to deal with this.

OpenGL in KDE only on top 420 pixels
Hi all, I'm currently running KDE 3.5.6 on 6.2-RELEASE, and I've tested OpenGL with the screen savers from the OpenGL Screen Sav... [sic] category. The results so far: - KRotation doesn't work at all, but I don't get any error messages, and `grep -iR krotation /var/log/*` doesn't give any results. - KPendulum and Space work and are centered on the screen. - All the others (Bitmap Flag, Euphoria, Fireworks 3D, Flux, Gravity, Particle Fountain, and Solar Winds) use only the top 420 pixels of the screen. It looks as though the graphics has been displaced, because it doesn't look like it's been scaled to fit the area, and it also doesn't look like the bottom 630 px (my screen is 1400x1050 px) have been cropped.

Dell D610 touchpad configuration
Hi all, I'm attempting to configure my laptop properly for X.org, and the only device which doesn't work properly now is the touchpad. The tutorials I've seen so far seem to assume that all touchpads use the Synaptic driver, but this is the information I get at boot time, and which I assume is the touchpad: $ dmesg | grep psm0 psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: model GlidePoint, device ID 0 Apropos, dmesg | grep -i synapt gives no output, and dmesg | grep -i mouse only shows the PS/2 + the USB mouse. I've tried a lot of tutorials, restarting whenever I change something, but I always end up with the following problem: $ grep ^\(EE\) /var/log/Xorg.0.log (EE) Synaptics Touchpad Found no Synaptics, found Mouse model 1 instead (EE) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.

What is the default firewall setup in 6.2?
Hi all, My goal is to set up a Subversion (v1.4, running on Apache 2.2 and available only through SSL) and SSH server, available to the world. I've managed to make it work locally; i.e., # svn list https://localhost/svn/repos/repository_namehttps://localhost/svn/repos/repos_name and # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] work fine. However, I'm having problems accessing these from other hosts. My machine is connected to the internet. I'm able to SSH to other machines, and use the web. Therefore, I believe the problem is that the machine is discarding packets. However, I can't find any record of the connection attempts in /var/log (grepping for the host name or IP of the other machine gives no results, and even ping doesn't work), and it seems that, according to the FreeBSD handbook chapter 26, there is no firewall installed by default. Why would FreeBSD be dropping packets, without recording it, when there are processes listening on the ports (see below), and no firewall? # netstat -an | grep 22 gives (among other lines): tcp4 0 0 *.22 *.* LISTEN According to tcpdump port 22 , the packets are arriving at my machine. /etc/rc.conf contains the following: hostname=[removed] ifconfig_bge0=dhcp keymap=us.dvorak linux_enable=YES sshd_enable=YES usbd_enable=YES apache2_enable=YES network_interfaces=bge0 I haven't changed anything in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. It contains firewall_enable=NO , which should be enough to avoid having any firewall. In addition, pf_enable=NO and ipfilter_enable=NO are in the defaults, so I'm completely stumped as to what is blocking the traffic. Is FreeBSD by default dropping any incoming connections (it should be, but I can't find mention of it in the firewall chapter)? Any help would be appreciated. -- Victor Engmark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
