...Alright...all I needed to do was add the lines for the H sync and V
refresh rate and that worked.

Thanks everyone!

The above "Screen" section is corrupt.  You have an EndSubSection with
no preceeding "SubSection", and a "SubSection" at the end.

You might try "X -configure" then "X -allowMouseOpenFail -config ".  This lets the X server autodetect and
autoconfigure everything, and the new xorg.conf should give you a good
starting point for changes.  On my system, it doesn't get the correct
pointer path (/dev/input/mice instead of /dev/mouse), so I have to start
the server with -allowMouseOpenFail.  One important note...if you don't
already know, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace should kill the X server started this
way...or Ctrl+Alt+F1 to return to the console.

Hope this helps.

you will need the error messages that come above  the "no screens
founs". The log is usually long and spotting the right bit can be
difficult.

Re: [gentoo-user] Change Resolution

2005-04-02 Thread Nick Rout 
You really need to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Quite likely your minitor is not being correctly probed by xorg, which
therefore defaults to a low resolution.

If that is the problem then you need to add HorizSync and VertRefresh
lines into your configuration file in the monitor section. Here is mine
as an example:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier   "Monitor0"
VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName"Monitor Model"
Option  "DPMS"
HorizSync35-85
VertRefresh  48-120
EndSection

I have had surprisingly good luck finding rates for crappy monitors by
googling.
