https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=411723 Summary: vesa driver cannot be reconfigured to another refresh rate that the standard Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: uga@domestic.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Sorry, because issue 411446 was so quickly closed I must open a new one because 411446 was originally not only related to the s3 driver. Because of the problem with the s3 driver I wanted to configure the vesa driver with another refresh rate than the default. With sax2 -m 0=vesa I got a default configuration with 60 Hz, was able to start Gnome and SaX2. SaX2 provided a list of several modi and let me select the modus 800x600@85. But after a reboot the monitor flickers as much as before. xorg.conf shows no Modeline and the ModelName "800X600@60HZ": Section "Monitor" HorizSync 20-61 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "800X600@60HZ" Option "DPMS" VendorName "--> VESA" VertRefresh 50-85 EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "Trio 64V2/DX or /GX" BusID "0:15:0" Driver "vesa" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "S3" EndSection Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection hwinfo --monitor shows: Resolution: 800x600@75Hz xrandr shows: 800x600 84.0* 640x480 85.0 640x400 86.0 I also tried sax2 -m 0=vesa --vesa 0:800x600@75 and sax2 -m 0=vesa --vesa 0:800x600@85 but always got the same Modeline (with this command sax2 generates one in xorg.conf, but always the same). With sax2 -x -m 0=vesa --vesa 0:800x600@75 no Modeline was generated. In all cases I see the same 60 Hz flickering. Although my monitor is a legacy model I want to be able to configure monitors operated by openSUSE with all possible settings. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
