I emerged ddcxinfo-knoppix and when I run it with -monitor, I get a lot of modelines, along with some HorizSync and VertRefresh values. These are what concern me: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" # HorizSync 28.0 - 78.0 # Warning: This may fry very old Monitors HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0 # Warning: This may fry old Monitors VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 # Very conservative. May flicker. # VertRefresh 50.0 - 62.0 # Extreme conservative. Will flicker. TFT default. # Default modes distilled from # "VESA and Industry Standards and Guide for Computer Display Monitor # Timing", version 1.0, revision 0.8, adopted September 17, 1998. # $XFree86: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/vesamodes,v 1.4 1999/11/18 16:52:17 tsi Exp $ # 640x350 @ 85Hz (VESA) hsync: 37.9kHz ModeLine "640x350" 31.5 640 672 736 832 350 382 385 445 +hsync -vsync Does this program guarantee that the settings really do work for my monitor or are they just generic? I need to know, especially considering the remarks about frying. Also, just checking to see I got it correctly: I would comment out all but one modeline and use that one, right? Again, are all modelines listed supported? (This lists 1920x1440@75 for a 17" monitor -- not by far a wiz with this, but... is this right??) Vlad -- How's my English? How about my Netiquette? Do mail me if something is wrong with my behaviour. Thank you. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
