I've got an old 1U server running openSUSE 13.2 which comes with Xorg 7.6_1.
Most of the time it is headless, but I would like to be able to use X
occasionally. Unfortunately out of the box the X server crashes.
The Monitor is a Dell 2001 FP, which is natively 1600x1200, but since this is
over a D-sub connector, I need to use 1024x768 (probably 60Hz, or maybe 75Hz).
This works fine in the OS install and GRUB2, but Xorg just crashes after the
newly installed system boots. I am looking for suggestions on xorg.conf.d
entries that will make it work. I have tried a lot of things, including using
the vesa driver and ati driver, specifying mode lines, refresh rates,
resolutions, etc. For example with the vesa driver, I usually get "VESA(0): No
matching modes". Here I will present what happens with Xorg -configure with no
Device, Monitor, or Screen specifications (i.e. let it figure out everything).
As you can see it seg faults.
I would very much appreciate some advice on what will get me 1024x768x60Hz
refresh without the vesa or ati driver crashing on me.
Some information:
