Hello everyone, I installed Mandrake 7.0 about a week ago, and since then I've been having trouble with my X configuration. Specifically, I can't get it to accept the correct resolution. I am running a 233 MHz Intel clone with OpenGL and MMX support, with 48 megs of RAM. My video card is an Alliance ProMotion 6422 and my monitor is an IBM 6540 G42, both as recognized by my Windoze software. (Unfortunately, as I purchased this computer secondhand, I do not have the specific documentation.) Both the video card and the monitor appear in the lists provided by the Mandrake installer. My Windows configuration is 800x600, with high-color (16 bit). The trouble is, when I feed this information to the installer, the screen flickers a few times, and comes back with the error message "Hung in ApmSync(), try changing some parameters." This happens no matter what resolution I try to use. I tried some other video cards, just for the fun of it, and if they worked with my card at all, they came up with the same "Hung in ApmSync()" error. The only way I could get X to run was using the VGA16 server by selecting the "Unknown VGA compatible" video card. My card _should_ be using the SVGA server (which is what Mandrake selected for it), but when I try to use it I get the above error message. If there is anyone that can help me on this one, or at least explain what is happening, I would very much appreciate it.
