For what it's worth, I had a similar problem.
First, I think you need the vertical and horizontal frequencies in the Monitor section-
Mine is:
HorizSync 30.0 - 95.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
This is specific to my kSony Trinitron MultiscanE500 - Yours will be different.
I found that the default Depth did nothing for me, so I didn't enter it.
Then, you will have to experiment with the Depth and Mode settings until you get one that works - this may be dependent on the video memory of your card.
I got mine to work with Depth 8 and Modes "1280x1024" "1024x728" and Depth 16 and Modes "1280x1024" "1024x728" ; my card is supposed to support 1600x1200 and depth of 24 (I think), but what the hell, it works quite well.
Good luck,
PJ
Okay, I have X running in 640x480 or 320x240 modes. As you can see in the XFree86Config file below it is set to display at higher resolutions. I know the monitor will do it because the box dual-boots win2k and it runs the graphics at 1024x768/16bit. I added an old AGP video card, disabled the onboard video. Why is the system ignoring the settings for the screens? -- Chip W----------------------------------------- Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "pex5" Load "record" Load "xie" Load "xtrap" Load "speedo" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" EndSection Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 260 200 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "ADI" ModelName "741" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "accel" # [<bool>] #Option "crt_screen" # [<bool>] #Option "composite_sync" # [<bool>] #Option "hw_cursor" # [<bool>] #Option "linear" # [<bool>] #Option "mmio_cache" # [<bool>] #Option "probe_clocks" # [<bool>] #Option "reference_clock" # <freq> #Option "shadow_fb" # [<bool>] #Option "sw_cursor" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI" BoardName "Mach64 GD" ChipSet "ati" ChipId 0x4744 ChipRev 0x5c BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
