I am having a terrible time configuring XFree86
My *exact* monitor is not listed (I have a Sony Multiscan seII -- Sony
GDM-20SE2T)
XFree86 configurator under RH8.0 lists only the GDM-20SE2TS (specs are
same...but the monitor was not *found*) -- is there a patch available? Is
one necessary?
When I enter the wrong monitor (done previously!) and the SiS300 card I
have, startx won't work. I had to re-install 8.0 as I was not sure how to
work through the Fatal server error message: The application 'x conf.py
lost its connection to the display :17.0; most likely the xserver was shut
down or you killed/destroyed the application, when a simple re-boot still
would not let me see the redhat-config-xfree86 *window* to change anything
in the xwin setup...
After the first install of 8.0 i first received the error
message:
/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xconf.py:1238: DeprecationWarning:
self.xml.get_widget("display_dialog"), set_uposition(xpos, ypos)
I am still getting that message along with:
*dccporbe returned the bogus values
ID: None
Name: None
Horiz Sync: None
Vert Sync: None
I am down to using a generic monitor and VESA...and 16 bit color
depth...yuk. I am gonna try to do some visualization work and need/would
like to get as *hi-end* as I can (I am already limited by a funky graphics
card...)
Again if anyone knows if there is a patch for the GDM-20SE2T???? or if the
GDM-20SE2TS would be close enough that I *won't* (most probably) have to
re-install again, or knows where to look for such things, I wouldn't mind
hearing from them.
Thanks in advance,
mgolter
