Well, I'm sorry but the video problems with 10.1 are too much to really debug on the list (at least for me)
Is there a developers list ?
You're showing a resolution of 768x576 above which is a weird resolution that I have never heard of and yet you say your monitor wants 1024x768. And your point is???
I think you may have missed it Bruce. Xorg is common to both Suse and Mandriva, probably debian, redhat, fedora, and all the other smaller distributions that haven't been swallowed up by the major players. The config files for it will be very similar across the distributions as well. If the Mandriva utility harddrake found a resolution of 768x576 functional and produced a usable display, I'm not going to argue with it. SAX2 has not found anything at all usable, apart from maybe a carpet pattern design. In fact I think SAX is a waste of space, what is the point of starting a utility such as SAX from a console only to pass it straight to X, when the X server is producing an unreadable display
Where are you headed and what has all of this Mandriva xorg have to do with it?
See earlier postings
It's a bad situation which 10.1 brought about and as I said, it took me a full week of fiddling to get it straight, and even then I quickly bailed to an easier solution.
Just can't be done by email in my opinion.
No comment Any X gurus out there ? TIA Richard
