Re: [Xpert]getting X to work on a toshiba satellite 210cs

2002-04-04 Thread Egbert Eich


The ct65550 does have a very low pixel clock limit.
It's possible to exceed this limit using hand selected 
clock values - but we don't do this in the driver.

You need to make your own modeline for 800x600 using
a pixel clock not exceeding the 35 MHz.
You can use 
   35.00  800 840 968 1056  600 601 605 628
which is the 60Hz modeline with a lower pixel clock.

Yes! yes! YES!!! It works! Thank you!

If I change the numbers to your modelines, X told me that my vertical refresh 
rate was just a bit too high. Needed to be 52.something. So I decreased the 
lower limit by 5 and now it works.
