I have managed to finally get past X crashing startup and can do startx successfully. I tracked some dscussions on comp.os.linux.portable news group pointing to http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/G.Wilford/Inspiron8500/ and how to get a similar flat panel display (On Dell Inspiron) and I added the one line G. Wilfor suggested in XF86Config file as well as adding the additional resolutions. Specificaly: Add: DisplaySize 330 210 In Monitor section and Edit: Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" In Display section (added 1400x1050). Maybe someone can explain the significance of DsiplaySize entry (I do not think Modes was a significant) Best to all and thanks -----Original Message----- From: xfree86-admin@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xfree86-admin@xxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Michael Taylor Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 12:24 PM To: XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Please help with Eurocom 8500V Andre Hassan wrote: > Dear XFree86, > I hope you can help me without too much bother.

Could you include the /etc/X11/XF86Config file? I think the problem is the values used in Monitor0 section, but need to see the config file to be certain. >From the XFree86.0.log: (II) R128(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 31.50-90.00 kHz (II) R128(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh range of 59.00-75.00 Hz Do you know the Vertical Refresh and Horizontial Sync for the laptop? _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
