 1.0.7a Xorg success with several video cards |
|
So far, Xorg is batting 1000 for me. I've installed on the following pretty ratty video cards at 1024x758 76 Hz refresh:
Pine SIS 6236 based AGP card
neomagic chipset in an IBM i1400 thinkpad
Intel 815E integrated video (never got beyond 800x600 before)
ATI rage pro 128 PCI and AGP cards
Xorgwizard generally gets the setup correct with two tweaks usually required that it sounds like are already being ironed out. Some but not all of my monitors wind up with an extra line for horizontal refresh in the "monitor" section with values of xxxxxx 0.0. I remove this line. Also, some systems wind up with a Screen 1 line in the "serverlayout" section and object to that line. I tweak it out when needed.

That's a bug in the Xorg auto-probe of the monitor.
Can you kindly confirm something -- I have modified the Wizard to accept only the first HorizSync line, reject the second
-- when you get the two HorizSync lines, is the first one correct and the one below it bogus? ...if it's the other way round, then back to square one.

Barry, do you mean you have modified the 1.0.7a download, and we need to download it again to test this?

Horizontal synch lines |
|
Each time I have used Xorg when there was a bad horizontal synch line, the first horizontal synch line was ok, and the second line was bad.

Good. XorgWizard should now work. Note, I haven't uploaded it yet ...well, no need to create a new iso. I'll post the updated wizard in the Announcements.
