Widescreen Monitor and X Help please
Hello, I'm upgrading from FreeBSD 5.3 to 8.1 --- much wonderful work has been done clearly, I'm very impressed and hat's off to the developers. Unfortunately I've hit a snag with X. I have an LG Flatron W2253, a 5750 graphics card and I have not been able to get them to work with X at all. Following the handbook's instructions: Xorg -config xorg.conf.new with and without the -retro option just give me a black screen from which there is no escape. I have to log into the machine from somewhere else on the network to reboot it. Killing the Xorg process doesn't help. Following the instructions on widescreen monitors, I have extracted a modeline from the log files: Section Monitor #DisplaySize 490 320 # mm Identifier Monitor0 VendorName LG (GSM) ModelNameW2253 # HorizSync30.0 - 83.0 # VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 ModeLine 1920x1080 138.5 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 # Option DPMS EndSection And I have modified the screen as follows: Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 MonitorMonitor0 DefaultDepth 24 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes 1920x1080 EndSubSection EndSection None of this has helped. If anyone can assist me, I would be very grateful.

Re: Widescreen Monitor and X Help please
Hello Brian, So if you return to the tty that you started X from (maybe by Alt-F1) and hit Ctrl-C, that doesn't kill your X session? Reboot seems a bit drastic. That's correct. It kills the X session, but the terminal remains dark, and switches to 'lower power' mode. Using ctrl-alt-f1 or alt-f1 doesn't change the screen setting. I struggled with widescreen config for a while until I realized the Tao solution was best - have you tried starting X without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all? Tao solution? I'm not sure what that is, but I have tried just typing 'startx' and also tried starting using xdm. Unfortunately everything has the same result, which is a blank screen in power savermode :( Thanks for your help.

Re: Widescreen Monitor and X Help please
Hi Warren, Does the black screen show a mouse pointer? No escape including ctrl-alt-f1? No mouse pointer, nothing. The X process will be shutdown with a ctrl-c or ctrl-alt-delete, but the screen remains blank, in power saver mode. Nothing I do makes any difference on the monitor. Try running X without an xorg.conf. I've done that, and it works just the same. I saw your other message about HALD and read your interesting link, aei.html. I disabled the HALD and DBUS, and rebooted, tried again, but with the same results.

It really sounds like a driver problem. radeon doesn't explicitly support the 5000-series cards, but I thought it would work. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log. You can try the radeonhd driver, or even the vesa driver. I've done that, and it works just the same. I saw your other message about HALD and read your interesting link, aei.html.

It's probably not an input problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
