I use the same card (AGP one), and I couldn't configure it Right from RH5.2 to 6.1 with xconfigurator. With XF86Setup, things were very different. After RH setup(6.1) the card is successfully probed and the default(recomended) resolution/color depth is given as 1024x728 32bpp. This never worked, even after giving the vsync/hsync & refresh rates of my monitor(LG studio works 520si, 15"). No matter whatever resolution/color depth I select the monitor just went blank. XF86Setup was a breeze, and it was smooth. Not only did it work like it said it would, I could afford to ignore things like RamDAC settings etc I am now getting higher resolution than I get in Windowz. Lets admit, xconfigurator sucks. XF86Setup on the other hand is something like configuring X with X! If xconfigurator vs. XF86Setup were to be used as an analogue to the Sendmail vs. Qmail thing, then xconfigurator would be similar to sendmail. :) MANI Visit http://www.niit.com for eCommerce Solutions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Linux India Mailing List Archives are now available.
