I've tried to install suse 7.3 on a ppc9500, yast2 ran ok except i was unable to find a video synch for x11.
the test under yast2 didn't show a correct image. The screen complain about input level being too high. the screen i have is a formac proniton 17/300. the popup menu under yast2 is jumping from pronition 17/200 to 17/600.
i've tried both without success. Even i've forced the number given by the screen :
HF : 60.02 KHZ VF : 75.00 HZ
(screen is VESA 1024X768) i don't know why vesa is appearing here.
Then i was only able to log using tty1 ...
when atempting to log using x11 the screen was splashed in two, lower part being black upper part being also split in two and the the login window being drawn more than once.
what could i do ?
What graphics card do you have? I assume it is an ATI mach64. lspci lists the available cards. I found some monitor specs: http://www.formac.com/deutsch/produkte/pronitron17.350.html So you can use 30-70 kHz as hsync and 50-160 kHz as vsync. Run sax2 -a, this will generate a /etc/X11/XF86Config. You can generate your own modeline with a sax2 tool: /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/tools/xmode -x 1024 -y 768 -r 85 -n 68 84 Modeline "1024x768" 89.75 1024 1040 1216 1328 768 768 778 802 68 is hsync and 84 is vsync.
