And everything seems to go smoothly until I type in sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx Sax starts up and then the monitor goes out of range, and nothing is displayed. How can I get past this? How can I get SAX to start up with frequencies that will work with my monitor. I do know what the horizontal and vertical frequencies are supposed to be.
That happen to me with nivdia driver and samsumg monitor, I think X doesn't recognize your monitor, maybe because it's a new model.
I recommend the following:
1. start sax2 with the -r and -l or -v (and with -m 0=fglrx) to guarantee that X starts with a low resolution;
2. Configure X as you want;
3. Configure your monitor NOT CHOOSING OR ACCEPTING a model from the sax2 list, but loading the configuration from the CD that comes with your monitor.
Ok, that sort of worked.. at least we got the SAX2 graphics up and navigable.... but now the next problem... even with typing -m 0=fglrx it still sets the video card to VESA Frame buffer - as in FGLRX is NOT available. I've also gone and manually edited the xorg.conf file and set the video device to fglrx and it still comes up as ONLY a VESA Framebuffer device. Granted video does work, but VERY badly. Any suggestions? C.
