Mandriva 2007 does not have an /etc/X11 directory in its live mode, so I resized the /home partition and loaded MDV2007 in what was left over. Now MDV2007 uses 768x576 , an odd size, the display section of the xorg.conf file was pasted into the suse xorg.conf, and it still the mdv file is attached. so is the suse xorg.conf is also attached is a mess, screen unreadable.
Well I've tried every V refresh rate in 1 Hz steps from 68Hz to 95 Hz after that its out of range for that monitor. Xorg.log shows the correct driver is being used, but looking down the log at the resolution list, ther is nothing like the resolution of 768x576 that Mandriva are using. I dont know my way around the xorg config enough so far, one for a guru. LSMOD shows a atiagp module loaded , should it be ???..
Thoughts ?? Russ
Any help really appreciated Richard ( was Russ when I was at his house trying to get it to work)
