Hello,
I m a bit new to Linux so I suppose I m just spelling wrong the command
and it is not a bug.
My tv only accepts PAL-M or NTSC-M but all distros I tried come set to PAL.
I've been trying different spells to xrandr and have been receiving different
error messages, none of them equal to the one benste recieved "X Error of
failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)". I'v
seen a few pages and tutorials about xrandr but could not figure out the
correct spell. Could anyone please tell me if is it my mistake or a real bug. I
ran xrandr --verbose and it say PAL-M and NTSC-M are supported. I'm running
Mint 9 isadora LXDE w/ nouveau driver on a NVidia FX-5200 card and haven't have
any success neither with the command after a plain installation nor after
updating as many packages as possible (even some not recommended). I also tried
Mint 12 lxde, debian AMD64 LXDE and a few others w/ no success. I also
installed some GUI for xrandr but haven't found one that have this option.
Here a few examples of what I tried and the errors messages I got:
gustavo@familiafeliz ~ $ xrandr --output TV-1 --mode PAL-M
xrandr: cannot find mode PAL-M
gustavo@familiafeliz ~ $ xrandr --output TV-1 --set TV-MODE PAL-M
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
Serial number of failed request: 27
Current serial number in output stream: 27
gustavo@familiafeliz ~ $ xrandr --output TV-1 --set TV-STANDARD PAL-M
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
Serial number of failed request: 27
Current serial number in output stream: 27
gustavo@familiafeliz ~ $ xrandr --output TV-1 --set tv_standard pal-m
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
Serial number of failed request: 27
Current serial number in output stream: 27
I'll really appreciate if anyone could tell me how to solve that problem.
Apart from that Linux is running PERFECT and has brought back a lot of vitality
to my old PC .
Thanks in advance
Gustavo
