TFT monitor and XF86config-4
Have just bought a TFT monitor, works well except occasionaly some of text is blurred on top pixel line I remember when I was installing debian there were questions about TFT monitors, at the time I ignored them. How can I re-run the configuration again without re-installing ? I think it will be a dpkg-reconfigure ? but which package ? Any help much appreciated Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You may need to select advanced and manually configure scan rates and resolution, eliminating those that work but poorly. I recommend looking in the monitor manual and selecting scan rates in a narrow range so it can only choose the one you want. When I left the range wide, it chose 1280x960 on a 1280x1024 monitor, even though 1280x960 was not listed as a proper choice and 1280x1024 was. This resulted in a vertical smear over the whole screen. Another option is to manually edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 . Just specify the exact rates you want, and take out the others. Another comment on TFT monitors It is not enough to match the scan rates. Every pixel needs to line up, in the correct phase, otherwise you get smearing. It must be exact. Most monitors have a means of automatically matching it. You might need to activate it by pushing a button on the monitor. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
