- Hi,
-
- Any of you linux gurus with similar setup,
- could you please help me with the Xconfig file.
- I am a novice at playing with PC hardware.
-
- I have a Gateway 2000 486sx at 25MHz with CrystalScan 1024NI monitor.
- The system documentation says it has a built-in WD90C31 enhanced 32-bit
- super VGA display adapter.
- The monitor is dual frequency (31.5, 48KHz horizontal and 50-90Hz vertical).
- The mouse is Microsoft with PS2 compatible mouse port.
-
-
- In my Xconfig the mouse line reads:
- Microsoft "/dev/bmouseps2"
-
- When I startx, with clocks and chipset lines commented,
- the clocks reported are 25 28 18 0 14 16 37 20.
- Among the configured drivers, it seems to automatically detect pvga1 with
- 1M mem and 8 Numclocks.
-
- I tried the monitor timings given in vga.dbase file without any success.
- I also tried using modegen2.sc to calculate timings for the given
- monitor frequencies (31.5KHz horizontal and 60Hz vertical), but they
- did not fix the problems either.
- The best I have gotten is with the timings I computed using modegen2.sc:
- I get a blue screen with the wire-frame of xclock. As soon as I move the
- mouse, the clock appears at some random place and the pointer sticks to
- the top of the screen. The pointer becomes jerky and moves only at the
- top of the screen. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace at this point.
- I tried mono configuration too with no success.
-
-
- Now, if anyone out there has a similar configuration working, could you please
- email me your Xconfig files, or any other clue that may help.
-
- Thanks in advance.
