- Hi,
- I'm having serious trouble getting 800x600 ( or any other SVGA resolution )
- out off my Tseng Labs ET-4000. After experimenting with the Xconfig file in
- usr/lib/X11 I've found out that xinit ( or startx ) isn't poking the clock
- ( this the dotclock ) into the right register on the ET-4000. But xinit
- states after exiting X11 that it has used the clock from my Xconfig file
- ( i.e. 36 or 39 ). All other parameters in modeDB of Xconfig work ! I can set
- linelength, imagelength, frontportch, backportch and synclength both horizontal
- and vertical. They all give results on the screen, but with the clock still
- set on 25 ( i.e. from the 640x480 res ) this gives an unreadable, flickering
- rubble on screen. I think it's a clock problem because my bash has the same
- horizontal size in this rubble mode as in the normal 640x480.
- I'm reworking Xconfig as stated in the FAQ i.e.
