I put a flat-panel LCD display on my linux box
over the weekend, but I'm struggling with how
to tune the image. I can't seem to get my video
card to kick into digital output mode, and analog
output mode yields a warbly image.
System info:
. Dell 1702FP display
. ATI Radeon 7500 video card
. Redhat 8.0
I was hoping to just run xf86config, but I guess
it needs some tweaks. For what it's worth, when
xf86config probes the monitor, it reports the
correct model number, but indicates analog mode
in parentheses.
So ... questions:
. Do I need to do anything in particular to force
my video card into digital mode? For instance,
does it matter whether I plug both VGA and DVI
cables into the card?
. Are the xf86 server and radeon drivers that ship
with redhat 8.0 recent enough to support these
monitors? I'm running a recent 2.4 kernel, so
presumably the driver is pretty up-to-date.
. Anybody know a better forum to answer these sorts
of questions? What's the most likely component to
need tweaking here? The monitor itself? The video
driver? The X server?
Thanks in advance.
