SAX2 bug

Message-ID: <3A249097.2F7A449E@CFFtechnologies.com> Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 23:13:59 -0600 From: Avi Schwartz Subject: SAX2 bug Hi, For the last 2 days I was trying to get Xfree86 4.0.1 to run on my voodoo3 machine without any luck. SAX2 was no help since would come up with the screen totally garbled. Today I noticed the -a option to automatically generate the XF86Config file without a graphical display. When I started xfree86 I had the same garbled display. When I checked the generated config file I found that SAX2 selected the wrong HorizSync and VertRefresh values for my monitor. Luckily /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/api/data/cdb/Monitors contained the correct settings for my NEC MultiSync XV17. After editing the XF86Config file manually, X started working properly. -- Avi Schwartz Get a Life avi@CFFtechnologies.com Get Linux
