Thanks; this worked. By correcting the HorizSync and VertRefresh to those in the manual, all screen sizes and all refresh rates became available. What a difference! Odd how various screen sizes were absent until these two values were corrected. For example, 1280x1024, which is now available at 60Hz - the only refresh rate available before the fix - was absent before. > > > On 8/7/05, marc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi > > > > I've installed Sarge (with the 2.6.82 kernel) on a P3 using DVDs. > > > > After installation, and entering KDE 3.3, I found that I only had > > 800x600 and 640x480 screen sizes available. > > > > When running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, the monitor has been > > identified correctly, but the video card - a Radeon 7000 with 64Mb - has > > not. > > > > By manually entering values into the dpkg-configure, I can achieve > > 1280x960 and 1024x768 options, but the refresh rate is only 60Hz. > > > > I note here: > > http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/video.html > > that the card is supported in XFree86 4.x. > > > > How do I "encourage" my installation to recognise the video card? > > -- Best, Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
