Daniel,

I have an almost equal set up at home (Sony GDM 1962 B with SUN label).
I made it work with a Matrox G200 under LM 6.1 and 7.1 after studying
the
links listed below. Of course I had to use a normal monitor for
installation,
modify XFree86Config by hand, and must use runlevel 5 all the time, but
the monitor is really good.

Have a look at the links and let us know. Monday I'll also post my home
Xfree86Config file, with modelines and all.


Good luck,

Marco

[expert] Fixed Freq Monitors

2000-09-07 Thread Daniel Bodanske

I am installing Mandrake 7.1 (single disk version) for a friend, and am
having trouble with the X config.  He has a Sony GDM-1960 fixed frequency
monitor (H54, V66 max res 1200X).  I can not use the supplied XFdrake
because it does not allow custom monitors, and when I config using
xf86config, I get a bunch of modlines that don't fit, and the X server fails
with no compatible modes.  The monitor uses a special cable and CL5434 card
made especially for it.  Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Dan
