X Configuration: HOWTO
Symptom:
Which settings have to be set in xf86config/XF86Setup for the card "xy"
being recognized correctly.
Generally you should use XF86Setup with XFree86 3.2. There are very
little cards where you have to use xf86config. Normally this should
not be necessary.
Solution:
- First make sure which server is needed for your card.
-
First do not select either Ramdac nor Clockchip as the server should
recognize this automatically. Only try if the auto recognition fails.
-
Please have a look at the appropriate manpage (XF86_Accel for the
accelerated, or XF86_SVGA for the SVGA server respectively).
Have a look on how to optimize or workaround for bugs.
-
If this still does not work use the latest server (even Beta).
-
If your card isn't even recognized by the newest server and the card
isn't mentioned as "not supported" please send us your complete configuration
file /etc/XF86Config as well as the error messages of the X server (.X.err).
