hello everyone, maybe someone could help me. I installed Red Hat 7.3 and configured Xwindows (within the installation) to 800x600 resolution. (I could see the windows desktop after pushing the test button - this is the WEIRD thing) When trying 640x480 res. (still within the installation) I could see only a black window (but monitor was still on). after rebooting, logging in and first typing "startx" the monitor goes into the safe mode. The only way how to get off this situation is to reboot. I tried to use the Xconfigurator to change the resolution, color depth or monitor, but unsuccesfull. (sometimes the monitor didn't go safe mode, but still stayed black). In MSwin. both 640x480 and 800x600 resolution (16b) is possible. My comp: Pentium 100MHz, 64MB RAM Monitor: ADI MicroScan 2E (exactly this type is involved in RH installation) gr.card: Trident TGUI9680 (autodetected, supported by both XFree86 3.3.6 and 4.2.0) here are the possible problems from XFree86.0.log: (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device) # I don't suppose this to be the problem ... (WW) System lacks support for changing MTRRs # I don't know what is MTRR, but the following rows are suspicious (--) TRIDENT(0): Revision is 1 (==) TRIDENT(0): Using HW cursor (--) TRIDENT(0): Found TGUI9680 chip (--) TRIDENT(0): RAM type is EDO Ram (--) TRIDENT(0): VideoRAM: 1024 kByte (--) TRIDENT(0): Memory Clock is 34.77 MHz (==) TRIDENT(0): Min pixel clock is 12 MHz (--) TRIDENT(0): Max pixel clock is 90 MHz (II) TRIDENT(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 30.00-38.00 kHz (II) TRIDENT(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh range of 50.00-100.00 Hz (II) TRIDENT(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 90.00 MHz (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using mode "1400x1050" (insufficient memory for mode) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using mode "1400x1050" (insufficient memory for mode) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using mode "1400x1050" (insufficient memory for mode) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using mode "1400x1050" (insufficient memory for mode) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "320x175" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "320x200" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "360x200" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "640x480" (hsync out of range) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) and simillar rows with various resolutions follow. I don't know how to fix it, and mainly: I have no clue, WHY? (I saw the desktop in the installation proces!!) thank you for any hint Karel _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
