This noise most appears in 1600x1200 mode, but can also come up in 1280x1024x75 Hz. Use Option TMDSCoherentMode to enable (on) or disable (off) coherent mode. Default setting is on.

[XFree86] Low frequency vertical ripples and blurry screen using Radeon 9000
Hello all, I'm trying to solve a problem on someone else's system. He's suffering from low frequency (about 5 Hz) vertical ripples and a blurry screen using his Radeon 9000 card. Under windoze it seems to work fine, even at higher resolutions (1280x1024 under windoze vs 1024x768 under Linux). I've had a look at his configuration files and logfiles, but nothing in there gives any indication on why it would be like this (no errors, no problems starting the [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] modes, no indications whatsoever...). Any thoughts on what might be causing this? He's using Mandrake Linux 9.2 with XFree86 4.3.0 and the radeon driver.

Re: Fwd: [XFree86] fullscreen modelines
I have a problem with tv dvd and video fullscreen with a flat panel LCD 19 SONY in DVI-D. I use by default a resolution 1280x1024 but when I watch TV , DVD and VIDEO I would need 1280x960 otherwise I see 1 horizontal black centimeter on top and bottom of the screen. I don't know which tv/video player is being used here, but in general they do not switch X resolutions unless called in a DGA fullscreen mode. Otherwise the screen is just stretched to the screen's resolution (usually keeping the x/y relation to prevent a 'stretched' look), which will most likely result in the horizontal 'centimeters' mentioned in the email. In other words: check the options for the tv/video player to see if it can use DGA fullscreen mode or tell it to not bother with the x/y relation, and just stretch the image to its fullest potential.

Check the BIOS to see if you can increase it from 1MB to 8MB, or if not contact the manufacturer of your machine for an updated BIOS. I fear this is the good old intel chipset problem again. Without the agpgart module it won't support the extended BIOS calls to let it know there's more memory available, and with the 832KB it detects it can't do much.

[XFree86] HotRodSE under XFree86 without keyboard attached doesn't work since upgrading to SuSE 9.1
Hello all, It's a rather complicated problem I'm experiencing, so I didn't really know in which mailinglist to put this. I hope someone here can help. I'm using a HotRodSE (Hanaho arcade joystick) under XFree86. Normally you can attach a keyboard to the HotRodSE, but for my arcade cabinet I did not do this. In SuSE 8.2 this worked without any problems, but in SuSE 9.1 it does not. The front-end I use doesn't react to any of the HotRodSE's buttons. If at that point I attach a keyboard however, the HotRodSE's keys suddenly start working, and continue to work even after disconnecting the keyboard again. Anyone got an idea of what might be causing this? I really don't want to have to keep a keyboard inside my arcade machine (when I get around to building it;).

When you start X as a user, it's using a different XF86Config file. If I remember correctly (I'm at work right now, so I can't check anything), X searches for an XF86Config file in a number of different locations. As root it appears to find the first one as /root/XF86Config. This file is not accessible as a user, so it will probably find a config file at a different default location (/etc/X11 for example). I think that if you remove/move the /root/XF86Config file, that it should work for root as well. The file /root/XF86Config contains an error according to your logfile.

Is 50 MHz really the maximum your 20 monitor can do? Btw, where are your modelines defined, or are you just using the default ones?

Google is your best friend in these things. :) Btw, is vesa really the driver you want to be using for your Radeon 8500? You wrote you installed the driver from ATI, but wouldn't you use the ati driver then? You could also opt for the radeon driver from XFree86, but vesa really doesn't sound like the driver for you. That might also be what's causing the smearing problem. I don't know what the vesa driver can display at 24 bits colours to be honest.

Hmmm, with a 10 year old monitor I don't know if I'd be willing to chance the trial and error method of increasing your range. You might damage it if you force it beyond spec. I dno;t know why XFree86Config says it is using VESA drivers ... i How can i make it use ATI drivers? This should help a bit: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/firegl/readme0325.txt although RH might have a better installation guide for you somewhere. If you don't need 3D you might also consider using the radeon drivers. Just replace the vesa driver with radeon in your Device Section. Mine for instance reads: Section Device BoardNameRV250 If BusID1:0:0 Driver radeon Identifier Device[0] Screen 0 VendorName ATI Option AGPMode 4 Option AGPFastWrite True EndSection and I use a radeon AIW 9000 card. Considering this line in your logfile: (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE] you may have to change the BoardName to R200 QL, and perhaps not use the options I do (depending on your card).

I thought I told it to use the View Port for the monitor. I'm on thin ice here, as I have no experience with your setup, but my guess is that since you didn't set up the TV, nor told X that it should use different settings for the two display outputs, it autodetects (through DDC) the ranges, and takes the lowest one (the one for your TV). Disconnect the TV to see if your problems disappear. If so: properly set up the two displays, or else you may be damaging your TV when you have it display an out of range signal.

Re: [XFree86] Low resolution modeline with a nVidia Riva TNT 2
On Sunday 07 March 2004 21:18, Pieter Hulshoff wrote: I'll repost the question on the xmame mailinglist. If I get some useful answers I'll post them back here. Well, from the answers on the mame mailinglists I gathered the following (I think what I'm about to write is correct, but I'm interpreting other people's answers here): 1. The TNT2 card cannot use a dot clock of below 12.00. This is a hardware thing; not a driver issue. 2. The way AdvanceMAME usually copes with this is by raising the resolution by a factor 2 or 3. This is of course not usable on your monitor either. 3. The only card that seems to be able to do what you want can be found at http://www.ultimarc.com/avgainf.html. Perhaps it's not the most hopeful answer, but I hope it'll help you somewhat. It looks like you either need to change your graphics card or your monitor. If I learn otherwise however I'll let you know asap. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
