xorg horizsync/vertrefresh problem

The General · 05-29-2006, 06:05 PM

I need to run X at 2048x1536@75Hz. I know my monitor (P1110 21" Trinitron) can handle this mode because when I boot to that Kororaa XGL Live CD, it starts out at 2048x1536@75Hz, and I can tell that it's not just saying that. It looks like 75Hz. Now, I've tried grabbing the VertRefresh and HorizSync from the Kororaa xorg.conf, but its all Live-CD-Weird. For instance, it says HorizSync 0 - 0, VertRefresh 0 - 0. I tried using those on Debian (Unstable/2.6.15-1-k7-smp) and it does 2048x1536@60Hz, which hurts my eyes and is unusable. I also don't have choices for refresh rates on lower resolutions like 1600x1200. It's stuck at 85Hz, and 75Hz for 800x600.

I believe the HorizSync of my monitor is supposed to be 30-121, and the VertRefresh 48-160, but when I try these I get the same result as 0 - 0 for both. I've also tried commenting out the two lines, and I get the same result.

Can anyone help me? This used to work, just somewhere along the line I messed it up and can't remember what I messed up.

Thanks

General,

Can you post your Xorg.conf file for me please?

Jake, I tried both of those, of course fixing the Identifiers and such to work with the rest of my xorg.conf, and neither of them worked. Any other ideas? Is there any way I can figure out for sure what modelines Kororaa is setting for me? Because the way it works with Kororaa is exactly how I want it to be in Debian...

Any ideas?

General,

try copying and pasting the Xorg.conf file from your Kororaa Live CD into your sytem Xorg file.

See if that helps

The General · 05-30-2006, 01:39 AM

lol, I just grabbed the disc so i could reboot, but the back of the CD was stuck to the top of my computer case, there's bits of shiney stuff all over the place. Good thing this software is totally free

I'm downloading it again, I'll post back tomorrow with results.

The General · 05-31-2006, 02:24 AM

Cut and Paste (changing /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice) gives me only 1280x1024@85hz

Just using the device monitor and screen section gives me the same thing.

Maybe Kororaa is using a different version of the drivers than I am.

jakec · 05-31-2006, 03:03 AM

did you change the Vert and Horizsync to match your specifacations in your debian system? Post the Kaaza Live CD Log for me

try the last Above Configaration I posted, see if that works

Jake

The General · 05-31-2006, 03:22 AM

No luck

I tried everything, lol.

What log did you want?

jakec · 05-31-2006, 05:34 AM

don't know what to tell you general,

that last Configuration I posted should have worked! see if you can get any joy out of this 1, if that Doesn't work, Use a Knoppix or PCLinuxOS Live CD and see if that does it, then Copy and Paste

here is My Xorg.conf file
