I don't know what "VESAFB-TNG statement" means. Can you elaborate?
Anyway, I think they are already the same: I have
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the appropriate line in
grub.conf, and Modes "1280x1024" in xorg.conf. The update
frequency is
set to 60Hz (recommended for this monitor) in the Control
panel of KDE.
1280x1024 is the native resolution of the monitor.
Vesafb-tng is, to my knowledge, a kernel option. You have the option to use
vesafb or vesafb-tng. It's in the part of the config where you enable the
framebuffer.
OK, I had that (the "statement" terminology confused me, that's all). I
think the problem is solved: It appears that this monitor likes 75Hz
only, not 60 Hz (my mistake, took it for another monitor). Using 75Hz
both in the grub.conf line and in the Modes option in xorg.conf solves
the problem. This is a LCD monitor, so one is not supposed to switch
resolutions, anyway.
Thanks.
Jorge
