Awesome. I found an xorg.conf backup from Ubuntu. Switched them out, and everything is crispy. glxgears hitting 250+ fps @ 1650x1080 with XGL 3D desktop, all running from a live CD. Awesome. On 1/29/07, Quentin Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 1/28/07, Jared Ubelhor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr

The refresh rates I posted in my first message are correct and work on other distrobutions. Why is it that THAT particular xorg.conf causes me to stop being able to use 1650x1080 after adjusting the refresh rates? On 1/29/07, roger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Sun, 2007-01-28 at 21:58 -0800, M

Yeah, I hate that too. It'd be nice to have a 17" LCD at 1600x1200. It's a sad shame the cost difference between a 20" square and 20" wide though. Nearly the same pixel count (1600x1200 & 1680x105) but the square is usually about $100 more!! --- Ben Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why is it

Why is it that I can buy a laptop with a 17" 1920x1200, but I can't get that on a desktop lcd? Just price-point for mfgs? Maybe in medical imaging and research... 100+dpi lcd's should be in more consumer products :) ben On 1/28/07, Mr O <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Beefed up eh? 19" wide is qu

Beefed up eh? 19" wide is quite different from most 20" and all 22" wides. A 19" wide only does 1440x900 whereas many 20" and all 22" wides do 1680x1050. As for timings, most LCDs should be within a few Mhz/Khz of each other. These are for my 17" square at 1280x1024. HorizSync 30.0 -

The live CD comes with, and starts up with, the fglrx driver for my ATI card. When I manually set the refresh rates, it takes care of the fuzzyness, but it severely limits my maximum resolution that KDE lets me choose. I have another xorg.conf from Ubuntu that works except my 3D performance drops

Oops, I was going to offer up the settings from the 20" wide LCD I had but I nuked the xorg.conf I had for it when I was moving/renaming my xorg.conf for my 17" LCD. So there goes that idea. Try taking a look through /var/log and poke through anything with Xorg/xorg. That be all, Mr O. P.S. Is i
