[gentoo-dev] XFree 4.3.0-r2 weirdness

[FRLinux]

Hello,

I've emerged 4.3.0-r2 last week and finally had time this week to play
around with 3D games. I'm using an nvidia gf4ti4600 with a 17' LCD
SyncMaster 171P. Most of the games are fine but : Serious Sam I & II
(using Icculus's betas). They work fine on my mandrake 9.0 installation
(xfree 4.2.1) which is still have on dual boot. 

I've heard on IRC that there was an outstanding issue with ut2k3 and CRT
monitors and resolutions. Checking the XFree logs, it tells me that
Serious Sam tries to run @ 640x480 then the monitor goes blank.

Any idea ?
Steph

chances are your lcd doesn't support 640x480... most/many don't support
resolutions that low anymore.  neither of my two 17's support it and one
will display "Out of range" and the other just goes blank.  check your
lcd specs to see if this is the case

It does, as written in my previous email, it works fine on my Mandrake
9.0 with the same hardware and same drivers (nvidia 4349). Only
difference being XFree 4.3.0 against 4.2.1
