Regarding: XFree86 Configuration for ATI Radeon 7500 QW 64MB DDR version Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ XFree86 Version: 4.2.1
OS: Hancom Linux 3.0 Area: XF86Config-4 Server: XFree86 (The XFree86 4.x server) Server: 'ati' or 'radeon' Video Card: ATI Radeon 7500 DDR 64MB bios detected name is "ATI RADEON 7500 QW (AGP)" Description: In your current documentation for 'ati' driver in XFree86, I can see the option 'crt_screen' as followes 5.7. Option ``crt_screen'' This specification is only effective when the driver detects that the adapter's BIOS has initialised both the digital flat panel and CRT interfaces. In such a situation, the driver will normally drive both the panel and the CRT. This specification causes the driver to disable the digital flat panel and display the screen image on the CRT instead. but in real situation, I can't load the XFree86 server without this option. (My hardware spec. is 15" LCD flat panel display for DVI connection only and VGA board is ATI Radeon 7500 DDR 64M (RV200)). After configuring 'vesa' or 'fbdev' mode in XF86Config-4 without 'crt_screen' option, I can load the X-server. But recompiling my kernel to 2.4.20, I can't load X-server in that mode. I tried to load X-server in 'ati' or 'radeon' mode. But entering 'startx' command, the monitor goes black...no signal...T.T. But after adding 'crt_screen' option in the "Device" section in XF86Config-4 file, I can see X-server start without any flaw. So now I am asking you if the 'crt_screen' flag exsits to disable the output of digital flat panel dispay and direct the output to analog CRT monitor, what happens tome? This applies only to the higher version VGA board such as 'ATI 8500 or 9x00' not to ATI Radeon 7x00 series?
