Re: [Xpert]issues with S3 Savage and monitor timings

Curtis,

it would be helpful if you send us a log.
This gives informations about the modes rejected
by the server (and the reason why it was rejected),
the modes that actually were set etc.

Egbert.

  I'm having two major problems with a Savage4 Pro+ under
  Linux x86 2.4.16, XFree86 4.1:
  
  (1) About half the time, randomly, the machine crashes when
   I exit X.  Screen is dead, processor halted.
  
  (2) XFree86 seems to have a very coarse-grained set of
   display resolutions it can switch between.  Titrating
  H and V frequencies in XF86Config-4 one by one, at a
  certain cutoff it seems to switch from 1600x1200 at
  60Hz to 1600x1200 at 74Hz.
  
  The problem: my monitor (Philips 107P) can only do
   1600x1200 at 72Hz.  Furthermore, the cutoff point
  seems to be wrong: eg, when I set the configured
  values to 90K, 72V, my monitor tells me the out of
  range signal is 93K, 75V!  I feel somehow betrayed.
  
  
  I imagine (1) is a driver issue.  I have the latest driver,
  so, whatever.  I thank God - or Stephen Tweedie anyway - for
  ext3fs :-)
  
  But, (2).  Is this - a card/driver issue?  An XF86 issue?
  Or even somehow a monitor issue?
  
  Your help will receieve no reward but my thanks, but is
  anticipated in advance :-)

 What's the easiest way to get X up using my Radeon 8500?   I'm not 
 necessarily looking to get all of the DRI features running right away. 
 That can come later.  Right now,
 I just want to get X up.

2D support is working in cvs trunk. Directions to build and install are
at http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/ . I believe Mike Harris also has _highly_
experimental packages against 4.1.99.3 in his people~ directory. He's
usually around in #xfree86 on irc.openprojects.net, so ask away.
