I have Redhat 9.0 installed now.
Can you do me a little favor? I have to have a non edited XF86Config file from your disk.
The text at the end of this mail is a fresh install of Redhat 9.0 XFree86Config file
1.) I need to make sure the correct modules are being loaded
2.) And the Monitor section is actually correct. When I was doing the install, the install program couldn't identify the monitor. That may be a driver bug or the monitor doesn't support DDC (Probably monitor doesn't support functionality --- very old monitor). Anyway, I manually identify the correct monitor. And it got the H-Sync and V-refresh frequency correct.
Based on the text you sent me, You wouldn't be able to do 1024x768 with
24-bit color.
Don't know yet if eventually you will be able do 1024x768 with 24-bit
color.
The following text is from Intel's web site
For SuSE only, in
the "screen" section:
Add a line for "DefaultDepth 24"
Add a line under Subsection "Display," after
"Depth 24" add a line for "Modes "1024x768" "800x600" as appropriate for
your system
Example:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
End Section
This was a while back, I am pretty sure by now the Intel 865 should
be able to do 1024x768 with 24-bit.
I am currently investigating if it can handle it.
I also need your output from this command
Steps:
1. Login as root
2. Type: X -version.
3. Send me the entire output. The output from the play-box is below

If the current redhat 9.0 driver doesn't support it, I will be
glad to write the code to support 1024x768 with 24-Bit. It seems lots of
people want that support.
