I'm having two major problems with a "Savage4 Pro+" under
Linux x86 2.4.16, XFree86 4.1:
(1) About half the time, randomly, the machine crashes when
I exit X. Screen is dead, processor halted.
(2) XFree86 seems to have a very coarse-grained set of
display resolutions it can switch between. Titrating
H and V frequencies in XF86Config-4 one by one, at a
certain cutoff it seems to switch from 1600x1200 at
60Hz to 1600x1200 at 74Hz.
The problem: my monitor (Philips 107P) can only do
1600x1200 at 72Hz. Furthermore, the cutoff point
seems to be wrong: eg, when I set the configured
values to 90K, 72V, my monitor tells me the out of
range signal is 93K, 75V! I feel somehow betrayed.
I imagine (1) is a driver issue. I have the latest driver,
so, whatever. I thank God - or Stephen Tweedie anyway - for
ext3fs :-)
But, (2). Is this - a card/driver issue? An XF86 issue?
Or even somehow a monitor issue?
Your help will receieve no reward but my thanks, but is
anticipated in advance :-)
