I am reading "XFree86 Video Timings HOWTO" and I would like to compute DCF/HSF but I do not know what DCF (dot clock frequency) is ? I mean I do not know where it comes from?
Here are some information of my OS nd hardware: I use debian2.0. I have Matrox Millenium || AGP, 8Mgb videoRAM, monitor Bridge OSD "17 (17inch). 1. The data from "Monitor User's Manual" Resolution 1280x1024 Non-Interlaced (Max.) Synchronization :Horizontal: 30KHz-70KHz (Automatically) :Vertical: 50Hz-160Hz (Automatically) Video Bandwidth : 100MHz at-3db So I think I can put HSF = 70000 and VSF = 160 but what about DCF ? Is DCF = 100 proper? How can I get it ? So shown below the Maximum allowed dot-clock: 250.000 MHz Is it connected to DCF ? 2.
