Any help would be appreciated. My XF86Config-4 > file is enclosed I've just found to my cost that the digital section of the DVI-I port on the card is not used by the Xfree 4.2 drivers. Hence if you put the digital connector of a TFT screen on the DVI-I port, it will not work. If you use the supplied adapter and connect a screen with a VGA connector, it will work. I was at first under the impression the supplied adapter was a digital -> analogue converter, but that is not so. It only connects the analogue data on the DVI-I port to a VGA connector. The DVI-I port has both digital and analogue on it. Since I needed support for the digital connector, I've finally given up with a Radeon 7500 and bought a inno GeForce 4 Ti 4200 card instead (based on the nvidia chip set). The linux driver that is included in X supports that up to 1024x768, but the nvidia drivers hopefully support it to 1600x1200, although I've not installed them yet. -- Dr. David Kirkby PhD, email: drkirkby@ntlworld.com web page: http://www.david-kirkby.co.uk Amateur radio callsign: G8WRB _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
