Question about Dell E771a monitor and XFree86 4.5.0 video modes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!  I´ve been running XFree86 4.5.0 on my Linux system since it was
first release without problems.  I replaced an old Nec XE17 monitor with
a Dell E771a this morning and I can no longer get X to start in
1280x1024@60Hz resolution.  It will crank up to 1024x768@75Hz (I
believe) max.

I tried running "X -autoconfig" from the command line but I got an error
about not being able to access a framebuffer mode.  No biggie, so I ran
xf86config and configured the settings for the new monitor that way.

Attached are my current XF86Config and XFree86.0.log files.

How can I get the resolution back up to 1280x1024@60Hz?

Here are the specs on the Dell monitor:

I did see some entries in XFree86.0.log file which indicated the monitor
reported 1024x768 as the ¨preferred¨ resolution and that´s what XFree86
went with.

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance!

Peace...

Tom
