Re: trying for 1920x1080 was: Re: Attempting to get an X11 server running

Reducing the color depth to 16 allows the wimpy Rage XL (8 MiB) to do 1920x1080. So then I moved the old slow X terminal out of the way and moved the shiny new Dell ST2220T LCD into the prime spot in front of the keyboard drawer... ...and the cable doesn't reach. Two HD-15 to BNC cables

Re: trying for 1920x1080 was: Re: Attempting to get an X11 server running

Have you tried: $ xset +dpms to use standby etc.? xset:  unknown option +dpms I assume it needs more than the 5 coaxes to do dpms. (It did appear to be working with the short cable that came with the monitor.) Font for xterm: x11-fonts/inconsolata-ttf I installed package

trying for 1920x1080 was: Re: Attempting to get an X11 server running

Now to see if I can get this wimpy rage xl to do 1920x1080. Please don't mess with modelines, it should not be needed any more. Just set the resolutions desired in the Screen/Display section.  If modelines are really required, get them out of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. But they almost certainly

Attempting to get an X11 server running

FreeBSD 8.2 packages: packages-8.2-release amd64 ATI Rage XL Dell ST2220T (1920x1080) Xorg -configure generates an xorg.conf file that somehow puts it into 1280x1024 mode and the monitor refuses to use it. I haven't found a way to get the full modeline info for whatever it is actually putting

Re: Attempting to get an X11 server running

Q1: how do you start X? Xorg (no config file) result: display works (1400x1050), but no keyboard or mouse Xorg -configure (creates /root/xorg.conf.new) Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new result: 1280x1024 which monitor doesn't like I also tried Xorg -keyboard Keyboard0 -pointer Mouse0 with and
