X.org
Is Debian going to switch to X.org? This Slashdot article says Slackware is: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/31/2317246mode=nestedtid=104tid=106tid=185tid=189 Ananamous Coward writes Some big distros had already dumped XFree86 for X.org for license reasons, but now Slackware, one of the most classical and stable ones, has announced in its changelog for slackware-current that they are switching to X.org, mostly for compatibility reasons. Looks like X.org is now the future of X for Linux ... If this has been discussed here, I totally missed it.
Re: Howto set my NEC LCD1850E to 60hz in XF86Config-4
The following two web pages seem to create the Modelines I want: [1] http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/spec/linux/modeline/ [2] http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/faq/vga2rgb/calc.html In particular, for [EMAIL PROTECTED], [1] generates: # V-freq: 60.00 Hz // h-freq: 63.73 KHz Modeline 1280x1024 109.62 1280 1336 1472 1720 1024 1024 1026 1062 But I have two problems with this: 1) A lot of google stuff say modelines are obsolete in Modern XFree86 - it will just autoselect the mode your monitor supports. Is there a better way to achieve [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) I insert the modeline into the Monitor section: Section Monitor [snip] ModeLine 1280x1024 109.62 1280 1336 1472 1720 1024 1024 1026 1062 and my only Display mode is 1280x1024, but still my monitor says it is running at 75hz vert..
