There used to be a file called /usr/X11R6/X11/doc/README.Config, where is it now?
Also there is some confusion about the location where the file XF86Config produced by XF86Setup is saved, could abybody enlighten about that Here was the problem: I start XF86Setup choose the card in card settings choose the monitor, enter the correct hsync and vsync (i.e. ver_refres = 30-64, hor_refresh=47-104) select 1280x1024 and/or 1152x864 and/or 1024x768 and smaller for video modes BUT... when I save and exit , in my XF86Config file there is only one modeline Modeline "1024x768" 65.00 1024 1032 1176 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync nothing in regard to 1280x1024 or 1152x864 by the way, Achim Bohnet wrote: > We had no problem with this.
