I'm running Branden's unofficial XFree86 4.2.1 packages and a rolled 2.4.20 kernel on Debian and am running into some problems with X. These problems are exactly identical in the official 4.1.0 packages and Debian's 2.4.18-bf2.4 image, so I don't think it has to do with the packages.
First, when using NVidia's detonator drivers from source, it takes an extremely long time (like twelve seconds) to load up the X server. Nothing is happening on the monitor at that time and after loading everything is fine. The same is happening on my friend's Debian machine at a local LUG with him using a Geforce4 and me using a Geforce3. The main logs show nothing out of the ordinary other than a module named 'GLcore' not being able to load. Secondly, I can not go any higher than 1600 x 1200, while my Visiontek Geforce3 Ti500 should be perfectly capable of it with my Viewsonic P220f monitor. I've tried looking at the Horizontal and Vertical Refresh but nothing works. It seems to choak in the logs where it talks about EDID and 240 MHz rate (or something, as I can not recall.) I have no idea what this is or how to correct it; can anyone offer any assistance? -- Scott C.
