Message-ID: Date: 24 Dec 90 05:33:21 GMT Sender: usenet@aggie.ucdavis.edu Distribution: comp Organization: University of California, Davis Lines: 53 I've been tearing my hair out for the last two hours or so, trying to figure out how to get this X server configured for my SVGA/monitor combination. If you're not interested in reading a lot of technical details about this problem, hit your ``next article'' button now. Here's what I've done: Ran clock.exe (from clock.pas) and gotten the oscillator numbers for the Trident SVGA card. The program came back with: Chipsets ET3000 ET4000 clocks: 25.2 28.3 44.9 14.3" As a result, I put the following line in the Xconfig file: ET4000 512 864 606 25 28 45 14 "800x600" # Trident SVGA The second piece, getting the video timings right, is what has been driving me batty. I've tried almost every possible combination of numbers and am obviously doing something wrong. My latest try was: "800x600" 28 800 880 936 1016 600 606 610 631 This causes my screen to blank out and come up as an off-white. The monitor that I'm using is a Panasonic PanaSync C1381. It's Spec sheet says: Synchronization Horizontal: 30KHz to 37KHz continuous. Auto size and center at 31.5KHz, 35.2KHz. VGA/SVGA/8514A standards. Vertical: 50Hz to 90Hz continuous. Non interlaced or interlaced modes. Auto size and center for VGA/SVGA/8514A standards. Resolution Horizontal: 1024 Vertical: 768 The VGA card DRAM contains 512K (which means that 800x600 is max resolution on the server side, even though my monitor can do more). I hope that someone out there can help me get this up and running (Thomas??).
