Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v4 Severity: normal It isn't obvious (for me at least) how to configure my LCD display at its native resolution of 1400x1050 using debconf.
Doing a web search seems to indicate that these settings are required: HorizSync 30-82 VertRefresh 50-100 Modeline "1400x1050" 120 1400 1518 1635 1752 1050 1055 1063 1094 -hsync -vsync I wouldn't know how to verify if these are optimal values, but they do seem to work. -- Package-specific info: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13) 01:00.0 Class 0300: 5333:8c12 (rev 13) # XF86Config-4 (XFree86 X server configuration file) generated by dexconf, the # Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page. # (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xfree86 package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xfree86 # package. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following commands as root: # # cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.custom # md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 > /var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" EndSection Section "Module" Load "GLcore" Load "bitmap" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "record" Load "speedo" Load "type1" Load "vbe" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc101" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV" Driver "savage" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" HorizSync 30-60 VertRefresh 50-75 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "Generic Mouse" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux scrooge 2.4.22-1-386 #9 Sat Oct 4 14:30:39 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on: ii debconf 1.3.20 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xserver-common 4.3.0-0pre1v4 files and utilities common to all ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-16 compression library - runtime -- debconf information excluded
