- Hello all,
-
- I have an STB Powergraph ERGO VGA card with 1MB RAM, and
- a Mitsubishi Diamondscan monitor, and a Logitech serial mouse
- attached to /dev/ttys0. I have been have a HELL of a time trying
- to get them to all work together and get X up and running.
-
- Here's what I know: (not much)
-
- My STB has programable dot-clocks that go anywhere from 0-70Mhz.
- The most common rates are 25, 28, 35, 36, 45, 50, 63, 65,
- although the 63 and 65 are pretty rare. It has a et400 chipset.
-
- My monitor is a multisync with a maximum horiz refresh of 36Khz,
- and a max vert refresh rate of 90Khz.
-
- I have ( using the modegen[1,2].sc spreadsheet) gotten Xmono running
- 640x480:-(, but when I try setting it to 800x600 or 1024x768 using the
- same settings, I get "not enough video ram for selected resolution"
- messages. Hhhmmmmmm, my vcard has 1MB on it, and I have used it
- it 1024x768x256 mode B.L. (before Linux :-), so I know the card will
- do it. I have tried setting the param videoram to 1024 but the
- message persists. Both the chipset and the amount of vidram appear
- to be self detected correctly when not set in Xconfig.
-
- I looked in /usr/X386/lib/X11/doc/vga.db and found a listing
- for my card the said that it could be used in 1024x768 mode
- with a 1120x900 virtual screen.
-
- The following is the Mode.db entry that I got working:
-
- 28Mhz 640 640 728 776 480 480 482 493
-
- I have tried:
-
- 50Mhz 1024 1024 1176 1256 768 772 776 796
- 63Mhz 1024 1080 1208 1336 768 772 776 796

- Thanks,
- Craig..........
