- First off, thanks to everyone who replied to my first inquiry about Linux
- and my specific hardware. I have the latest SLS (.99pl2) release installed
- and it works like a charm. Thank you Peter and Linus!
-
- Now for the question... I'm trying to set up my Xconfig file for my
- setup. I have a Diamond Speedstar (I know, I know, but mine is a much-older
- model... just a Speedstar Plus, 1MB, 1024x768x256, Rom Rev 4.23, ET4000
- chipset), and a Gateway "Crystal Scan 1024NI" monitor. I've read all the
- doc files and FAQs. My question is this:
-
- In the video.tutorial file that comes with the X386 distribution, they
- mention both my card and my monitor [:-)], and list specs/clock frreuencies
- for both. However, they only list resolutions 640x480, 800x600, and
- 1152x900 (!?). They skipped 1024x768 [:-(]. So what's up? Can I have X
- in 1024x768x256 mode with my card/monitor? BTW, I don't care for the
- 1152x900 "virtual" resolution... I'd be more than happy with just using
- my monitor's max resolution and nothing else.
-
- If anyone has a working Xconfig file with the same configuration as I have
- I'd sure appreciate a copy. Otherwise, some pointers as to how to approach
- the problem are welcome. I'll start hacking around with the help of the
- clock.exe program and see if I get anywhere.
-
- Please reply by email. I'll gladly forward information I get to anyone
- who requests it. Thanks in advance...
