[opensuse] 10.2 and SaX2 problem
Hi All, Up through SUSE 9.3, SaX2 accepted the following configuration for my on-board graphics chip, SiS 630, and monitor, an NEC MultiSync 77F: Monitor display size: 325 x 244 mm, aspect ration 4:3 horizontal rate: 28 to 70 Khz vertical rate: 54 to 120 Hz colors: 8-bit, 16-bit (24-bit to 1280 x 1024; 32 bit to 1152 x 900) --> 1600 x 1200 at 16-bit color was my preferred and default setting SaX2 under 10.0 rejected every single attempt to replicate this configuration. I ultimately 'transplanted' the relevant settings from my 9.3 xorg.conf into the 10.0 file to get it working. I recall SaX2 under 10.0 also lacked some or several configuration options as compared to previous releases. SaX2 under 10.2 appears to have had many of the features that went 'missing' under 10.0 returned, but it still won't allow my preferred settings to 'take.' When I manually transplant the modelines, etc., into xorg.conf, X seems to just ignore/reject them and they're overwritten to 1280 x 1024 at 24-bit. I'm very unhappy about having lost 25% of my working 'real estate'... it's badly cramping my style. Do I really have to downgrade to 10.0 or is there another solution for this problem? All ideas and suggestions will be gratefully appreciated. TIA & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The maximum value of horizontal sync is 70KHz. So, you can't use this at 1600x1200x24bit. If you dare do, you will give damage to display.

If you dare to try my first advice then you will damage your display and further advice will be unnecessary --- sincere apologies. :) -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Masaru, and thanks for responding! :-) The SiS630 can do 8-bit or 16-bit color at 1600 x 1200 resolution. There isn't enough shared memory available to support 24-bit or 32-bit color at that resolution. Also, the specs in the manual accompanying the monitor show a horizontal scan range of 31 to 70 KHz... not 28 to 70 KHz as I'd written previously. However, SaX2 under 9.3 lowered that minimum to 28 KHz and it worked. The vertical refresh rate was 54 Hz, which is just 1 Hz lower than the published minimum of 55 Hz. Thanks again!
