I have a inspiron 8200 with a radeon mobility 9000. I currently have xorg 6.7.0-r3 installed. Last night I tried to upgrade to 6.8. Because of blocking issues I had to unmerge xorg and remerge it. Thank god for quickpkg. Once 6.8 was emerged I started x and things were ugly. All sorts of corr

In the resolutions settings (under Section Screen - Subsection Display) I usually remove all the one that I'll not use i.e 640x480 800x600 and just leave it at the maximum that I want in my case 1024x768 at 24bbp. Hope that helps. On 4/21/05, Lucien D. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a insp

ah, thanks. As to what Richard said about hsync, he's probably right those values may be bad, I'll get rid of them. Though I don't even know if X is abiding by them, when I look at the on screen menu for the monitor its showing hsync of 106 and vsync of 85. On 4/21/05, Erik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ok, making progress. I installed 6.8.2-r1, did X -configure and its working, well mostly. Two problems. well first, it seems like its running at a really high resolution, I always ran at 1600 which I thought was the highest this card could do (I vaguely remember it being the highest in windows).

Ah thanks, we're in business now, I should have put the DefaultDepth in, that was just stupid. The font is still a little big, but smaller than before. My next step is kde 3.3 -> 3.4 so I'm just gonna wait on that. Well thanks for the help, my knowledge of X is slowly improving. Lucien On 4/22
