X11 configuration

[sbayeta]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure the monitor resolution for my X11 server but I don't know the correct values for HorizontalSync and VerticalRefresh for my monitor. I want a resolution of 1024x768, which I know the monitor can handle because I used it in a windows machine with that resolution.

I'm using the default values for these parameters (by omitting them in the xorg.conf file), and the log file shows that I can't get the desired resolution with them:

(II) SIS(0): is not supported on the chipset/bridge/current output device.
(II) SIS(0): Monitor0: Using default hsync range of 28.00-33.00 kHz
(II) SIS(0): Monitor0: Using default vrefresh range of 43.00-72.00 Hz
(II) SIS(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 270.00 MHz
(II) SIS(0): Not using default mode "800x600" (hsync out of range)

The monitor is an old Goal Computers VC-14R. I googled for some info about it but nothing came up.

Does anyone know what are the minimum values of hsync and v refresh for 1024x768? I tryed some random values, but the monitor started buzzing and the image wasn't right.

BTW, I'm running freebsd 5.3 release

Thanks in advance

Okay, I don't know the answer to your question, but don't EVER put random sync values in for the monitor. You can permanently damage the monitor that way.

If this looks like it rebadged, try that flashing 'inquire' button, they may have a datasheet.

Or it looks like this guy might know if you want to try emailing him, they didn't block out his address. That's awfully old, though, and keep in mind that's translated from some form of spanish.

I dont know how you googled... but here's my google finding

H.F.: 30 - 50 KHz
RES.: 1024x768

as for the refresh rate,... you'll have either to try getting them by calling here or by simply looking for any 14" CRT screen

[Ethyriel]

Well, I for one have lost all faith in my googling ability. Where the heck did you find that?

[smindinvern]

A good generic VertRefresh value is 30-60.

Well, I for one have lost all faith in my googling ability. Where the heck did you find that?

Non worries... you probably made a search with this Goal Computers VC-14R
if you make a more general search using this VC-14R monitor you'll get more results

[Ethyriel]

Bah, that's what I searched for, too!

It was probably one of the sites that returned connection refused, this Firefox install has some issues doing that on sites like hexus.net and rawganique.com
I really need to get this sorted out one of these days.

[UgoDeschamps]

Hexus.net works perfectly... what version of FF do you use?

[Ethyriel]

Firefox 1.0, Arch Linux's build, which means probably unpatched or maybe for GCC 3.4.3

I forgot, though, it's not Firefox:
Links on the same machine doesn't load them
Firefox 1.0 on WinXP with the same ISP in the same house loads them
The same build of Firefox 1.0 on a friends lappie and his cable connection loads them

Hrm, I wonder if it's Flash as I don't have it installed, but I'd think they would at least load a blank page like usual.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack the thread, but if you have any thoughts I'd love to hear them!
