Re: Re: Re: Re: Graphical Interface Crashes
I tried running xdpyinfo | grep reso and got the the following: dots per inch 89x89 I have no idea what that exactly means. But I would really like to be able to get this fixed up so that I have the proper resolution. I don't know if I mentioned previously, but the video on my motherboard is an ATI Radeon HD3200. I tried googling the 89x89 dpi, but that shows that the resolution is like 1280x800. Just not sure how to correct this.

Re: Re: Graphical Interface Crashes
I tried adjusting the buttons on the monitor itself, however, what I noticed was in the info on one of the monitor buttons was reading the display as 1280x800, and the setting in display settings was showing 1440x900. But if I try and change the setting in debian for a different resolution, I'm always getting a no connection or input not supported showing on my screen. So, it still seems like Debian is not grabbing the proper resolution of the monitor. If there is anyone else that has more knowledge of xorg and could help me fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Since I have no idea how to properly edit the xorg.conf file. I would need a step-by-step instruction on what to add and where to add it. The monitor again is an Acer x193w (native resolution is 1440x...@60hz).

The minimum you need to specify are the HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges in the Monitor section. You should be able to find those in the manual for your monitor. See 'man xorg.conf' for details on how to add them. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Re: Re: Re: Graphical Interface Crashes
I understand what you are saying, but why would the monitor say its resolution is 1280x800 and Debian is saying that it is 1440x900? Does adding the HorizSync and the VertRefresh help fix this issue?

I don't trust frontends to much. What do you get from: $ xdpyinfo | grep reso ? Does adding the HorizSync and the VertRefresh help fix this issue? Well, at least one of them is wrong, but you can't change anything in the monitor ;) Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

I use just an analog cable (no DVI on monitor). I will try playing with the buttons on the monitor and see what happens and report back. Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Re: Re: Graphical Interface Crashes
I was able to get the interface to stop crashing everytime it tried to load. My work computer is working great now. However, my home computer, I can get to the desktop and the screen resolution/sync is set properly, but the issue is that now about an inch of the right/bottom of the screen is off the screen (like the desktop is stretched). It seems like debian is not recognizing that my monitor is a widescreen (acer x193w, 1440x900 resolution). Is there a way to correct that?

If you are using an analog cable, you may have to configure the monitor itself using those small buttons and on-screen display. If that doesn't help, you need someone with more Xorg knowledge than me, I only configured resolution and sync, more was never necessary. Curtis Andreas signature.asc Description: PGP signature
