xvidtune and Intel
Does xvidtune ever work with onboard Intel video chipsets? It never has for me. I'm running testing (Wheezy) on an Intel i5 CPU (DH55HC). Most video functions seem fine, but if I try to re-center the display with xvidtune, I get this: "You have requested a mode-line. That is not possible, or not supported by your configuration" Adding ModeLine statements to xorg.conf also fails. Nowhere in Intel docs could I find the name of the video chipset, but this line in dmesg: agpgart-intel :00:00.0: Intel IGDNG/D Chipset indicates it's the IGDNG/D (Clarkdale) chipset, which as I understand it is integrated into the CPU. I have the xserver-xorg-video-intel package, and lsmod shows the i915 module for video. I have also never gotten xvidtune to work on my Lenny box, which has an Intel Pentium 4 and the 946GZ video chipset. The hardware is four years old. I've kept Lenny up-to-date, but xvidtune and ModeLines still fail. I had thought a fix might be distributed at some point. Only on a third box with a separate Asus GeForce2 video card did xvidtune and ModeLines work. In one case, I dodged the problem by using the monitor's push-buttons to center the display. However, the button is broken on the other monitor. Does anyone know if the onboard Intel VGA chip can support this function? If so, should I file a bug report against x11-xserver-utils?

You were told some good tips about this same issue in your e-mail of June 17th. Did you try any of them? :-? > This didn't happen with the old "nv" driver.

Dunno what are the "xvidtune" capabilities, but "xorg.conf" is still usable and you can define there whatever settings you need to position your monitor. You can use "cvt" tool to calculate the modelines for your display. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If you downloaded it from the site - i.e. non-free - you will probably have to run it using the shell script to reinstall it. I often find when I've done a X-server library update, that that is all that is required to get things working again. If this is your situation too, then don't forget to close down the X-server otherwise it won't work.

Then add the following to the same area of the XF86Config-4 file: Virtual 800 600 or what ever size you want to start with. EXAMPLE: # ** # Screen sections # ** # Any number of screen sections may be present. Each describes # the configuration of a single screen. A single specific screen section # may be specified from the X server command line with the "-screen" # option. Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "DiamondStealth" Monitor "Relisys" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "1280x1024" Virtual 1024 768 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "1280x1024" Virtual 1024 768 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "1280x1024" Virtual 1024 768 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection EndSection This is snipped from one of my running systems as an example. I strongly suggest that you proceed carefully as you will have better results if you use a running XF98Config-4 file from YOUR system instead of simply trying to use one from someone else.

I'd strongly recommend newer kit. Yeah, I know, there's a few good deals here in the UK for refurb. 17". I have a very very very small flat - and my girlfriend would lynch me if I bought something that would take up half the room :( I sorted out XF86Config-4 tho. It was the UseModes line, if I add the required numbers after ModeLine. ModeLine"800x600" 50.00 etc And don't add anything else it works fine. Something so simple...

Sorry, what I mean is: I've got the values from xvidtune - where do I insert them in my XF86Config-4? The relevant (I think) part is...

xvidtune & XFree
Hello everyone, I'm trying to configure X - but the problem is that I can get everything fine, except the screen is way off to the left. I use xvidtune to alter it so it's perfect, but how do I save my changes? Can I? I've trying editing XF86Config-4 with the info from xvidtune, but when I startx I get told that the line is wrong (messages depend on whatever rubbish I've told it to try). Help is greatly needed. Thanks Harvey

Re: Xvidtune
By default, the current directory is NOT one of the places that the system will look for an executable. Try giving it a complete pathname /something/somthing/Xvidtune. Or cd to the directory and enter ./Xvidtune. That specifies that the executable is in the current directory. cheers, dar On Wed, 11 Oct 2000, Cavaiani, Don wrote: > Someone told me yesterday that I have "lousy modelines" and that I should > run Xvidtune.

what happened to xvidtune?
I'm just wondering where xvidtune has got to- I don't see it on any of my slink systems (all current) and I have no hamm boxes left. I seem to recall that it was available in bo when I first started using Debian, and I see my old kvidtune package on one of my systems, but there is no xvidtune to be found.

When I try running xvidtune it tells me "Please install the program before using" Since xvidtune is part of the XF86Setup package I figured it was installed. XF86Setup works fine, but when it tries to run xvidtune, it also fails. Any ideas? --Vince

No other way then to click on "show" and then paste the modeline shown
into your XF86Config file manually.

This is related to the slew of messages regarding netscape et al not working. xvidtune is looking in /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 for the app-defaults directory and not finding it (probably cause /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 doesn't exist).
