Hi, I've been trying to modify my graphic resolution for my monitor but I have been having some difficulty. I'm new to Xfree86 so maybe this question is trivial. I'm trying to set up a non standard video mode but I can't even seem to get a basic setup that works. First, I'm using Xfree86 4.2.0 under mandrake 2.4.18-1. I tried the configuration utilities and followed all the steps. The config utils tell me that a new XF86Config file was made. I'm not sure what config file Xfree86 is looking for. Should the configuration parameters be in XF86Config or XF86Config-4? When I try to run the utility xf86cfg (graphical setup utility)my mouse will not work (but it does work in the line mode). The message states to use the numpad for moving and using the cursor. Problem is that the cursor moves but no zones can be selected (click double click etc). Next, If I run the config utility X -configure, I get a message that says I should run XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new When I run this command I get a X window displayed. The mouse cursor does not move, CTRL ALT (num) + / - do not work either. Ctrl Alt Backspace works fine. I have a motherboard with the Intel I815 graphic chip and a Princeton Ultra 17 + monitor. (after running the config utils I can only get one video mode)I loaded the agpgart.o module and verified that it is loaded but it dosen't seem to matter. So my first question is "What configuration Utility Should I use? My second question: If I edit the config file manually, what file should I make the chagnes to (XF86Config or XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11) When I run X -probeonly a log file is built and the data states it is using the XF86Config-4 file. When I examine the log file it shows several graphic modes that are not being used Prefixed by (II) I810(0). I'm trying to figure where these graphics modes are attempted to beloaded. My real purpose for modifying the config file is that I have a project that requires the video mode to run in 400x256x16bpp @ 15.750 Hz (horiz) and 50 - 60Hz vert (using a I815 chipset). I looked at several sites for some detaile dinfo regarding the config files but all I find is some information that appears to be out of date (over 2 years old). Most of the info on Xfree86.org just seems to briefly touch apon the subject but does not offer much detail or example. Maybe I'm not loking in the right places :( If someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it. I've been trying to get this to work for the past 2 weeks with no progress. As you can tell it is getting the best of me. My deadline is fast approaching and I'm running out of time. If you know of anyone that may have the correct configuration for an i810 / 815 at 400 x 256 x 16 (bpp) I would really appreciate hearing how they got it to work . Thanks so much for any information you can get to me. Ed Suchocki esuchocki@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
