This particular machine is |giving me a problem, and I am having troubles to fix it. | |Here is the situation: | |When I attempted to fire it up using the onboard video card, it loads X just |fine, and allow me to enter KDE, run applications, etc. Only thing is, the |screen flickers badly, making the terminal very, very hard to use. |
If you where using XFree86 version 4, try using a version 3.3.6 server. Otherwise, I was told the kernel needed to be patched to eliminate this problem on some videocards. |I blamed the video card for lack of better culprit, and tried a couple of |other PCI video boards : trident TGUI9440-1, TGUI9440-3 | |The system goes through the loading process, but when it attempts to start X |it shows a series of lines with messages like: | |<snip> |(--) S3..Mode "800x600" needs hsync freq 65.82 khertz. deleted | ^^^ ^^^ |<snip> | |***Note: each of the lines has different values for the numbers marked |above.... |It does that about 3 or 4 times, then it gives up, with the message: | |<snip> |Warning : the directory usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/100dpi does not exist. Entry |deleted from font path | This is just a warning, it's of no serious consequence to X. |None of the configuration devices were detected. | |Fatal server error. |No screens found |<snip> | | |Any help? | The problem is that the modelines fond in X's configuration file where found to be incompatible with the stated capabilities of the monitor. You need to either provide X with the right horizontal and vertical monitor frequencies, of you must provide it with a modeline that produces frequencies that the monitor can handle.
