Hello,
I'm upgrading from FreeBSD 5.3 to 8.1 --- much wonderful work has been
done clearly, I'm very impressed and hat's off to the developers.
Unfortunately I've hit a snag with X. I have an LG "Flatron" W2253, a
5750 graphics card and I have not been able to get them to work with X
at all.
Following the handbook's instructions:
Xorg -config xorg.conf.new
with and without the -retro option just give me a black screen from
which there is no escape. I have to log into the machine from
somewhere else on the network to reboot it. Killing the Xorg process
doesn't help.
Following the instructions on widescreen monitors, I have extracted a
modeline from the log files:
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 490 320 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "LG (GSM)"
ModelName "W2253"
# HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
# VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
ModeLine "1920x1080" 138.5 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 1111
# Option "DPMS"
EndSection
And I have modified the screen as follows:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080"
EndSubSection
EndSection
None of this has helped. If anyone can assist me, I would be very
grateful.
Thanks a lot,
Scott
