I have installed XFree86 and am using the Debian 3.0 distro. Some basic stats are as follows: Video Card: nVidia GeForce4 MX w/ 64M ram ? I have installed the drivers for the video card Monitor: Micron 700FGx that supports 1280x1024 @ 60Hz. H freq. 30-69kHz V freq. 50-120 When startx is executed, an nVidia splash screen appears at a 1280x1024 resolution @ 60Hz. This I take as evidence that the drivers installed correctly. Then, the screen goes to static with refresh rates far outside of those supported by my monitor. (My monitor has an option to report info on the signal it is receiving. It is something about 85kHz and 135Hz.) It then flashes back to the splash screen and again returns to static. This pattern continues about three times before it just stays on static. After this is finished, even the shells (accessed with ALT+Fx) run at the outlandish refresh rates. Linux still responds, however, and I can blindly go to a shell and log on, then reboot the machine. I have already tried to specify in XF86Config-4 which resolution to use with the Modeline command. I have tried options for 1280x1024 and 640x480. No change. Any suggestions as to what I can try next? Any ideas as to what the problem is? PR4V0 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
