Configuring the X server

Symptom:

Cause:

There are a lot of possible reasons for this. One of them will be explained here :

The graphics device is accessed by the X server with a modeline, that causes a signal, that cannot be displayed correctly by the monitor.

Solution:

Important hint:

Never enter higher values for the horizontal and vertical frequency in /etc/XF86Config than your monitor can handle. Wrong or too high values can cause severe damage at the monitor.

Please read carefully the technical specification of your monitor. If you are unsure about the settings you should try somewhat smaller values. And again : Be careful ! .
