Edit your monitor section as below. Section "Monitor" Indentifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Unprobed Monitor" HorizSync 30.0-72.0 VertRefresh 45-150 EndSection And your Device section should look like this. Section "Device" Identifier "VideoCard0" Driver "Savage" VendorName "VideoCard vendor" BoardName "S3 Prosavage KM133" Option "UseBIOS" "False" VideoRAM 32764 EndSection Hope this helps.

My RAM is 96 MB in which 32 MB is share memory for graphics. So I write 32764kb. As I read my monitor profile I found that Horizontal range is 30 ~ 72 khz and Vertical is 45 ~ 150 hz. Can I write this in my monitor configuration? Hope to have a favourable reply?

In this section of your config file Section "Monitor" Indentifier "Monitor0" VendorNmae "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Unprobed Monitor" HorizSync 50.0-61.0 VertRefresh 31.5-31.5 Options "dpms" EndSection The HorizSync and VertRefresh rates are swapped over. I don't believe your monitor has a HORIZONTAL refresh rate of 50 to 61 KHZ and a Vertical Refresh of 31.5HZ. That's why you get lots of messages like this (II) SAVAGE(0): Not using default mode "640 * 350" (hsync out of range) and (II) SAVAGE(0): Not using default mode "800 * 600" (vrefresh out of range) The label on the back of your monitor should tell you what the refresh rates should be. Secondly I note that your have a Savage chipset. This may explain why you had the problem where your monitor went blank. (Your original problem). Fortunately I've seen this problem my self and the solution is reasonably easy. In the following section. Section "Device" Identifier "VideoCard0" Driver "Savage" VendorNmae "VideoCard vendor" BoardName "S3 Prosavage KM133" EndSection Add the following lines before the EndSection. Option "UseBIOS" "False" VideoRAM 8192 The first line stops XFree from attempting to use settings in the Savage BIOS which has been known to cause problems. The second line tells the Savage Driver how much of your system RAM is allocated to your graphics controller. The value should be the same as the amount of video RAM allocated in your BIOS. Note that your BIOS will probably allocate the memory in MBytes while the VideoRAM setting is in Kbytes. So in my example above I have the video ram in the bios set to 8M therefore my VideoRAM setting in the config file is 8192 (8M x 1024). Hope this helps. Yahoo!
