And some people, this one in particular, have no idea what 11 (+50) is or how it or Spinal Tap relate to:
openSUSE Xorg configuration SiS driver segfaulting
I didn't say it had to do with Segfaulting. You suggested turning up the setting in the Xorg configuration to 61 (which is 11 + 50) to deal with the frequency problem. I'd gotten around the seqfault problem with openSUSE 12.3 only to (re-)encounter the frequency problem that I had back with openSUSE 12.2.
Would you prefer an Monty Python-esque answer?
Monty Python = Spinal Tap under this roof. Continue using them if you wish those unfamiliar with things derived or borrowed from them to have no idea what you're talking about. That said, it just occurred to me something to try in conjunction with nomodeset that I've not seen discussed anywhere in a very long time. With MGA drivers that work in nomodeset mode, whether it's specified on cmdline or not, an xorg.conf is required that uses the old format from 10.0 & 11.1 days for the screen section that explicitly lists modes, e.g.: Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1366x768" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1366x768" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection Maybe you need this, and 55-61, for VESA and/or SiS to get where you want to go. Note that back when I was using xorg.conf files of this format, usually generated originally by SaX2, I would habitually strip explicit modelines and any usemodes line before using them, always without ill effects from any video driver or display. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
