Hi There on the list I just got a Hyundai L70S+ TFT LCD Monitor for Xmas and I need to know if I install it under Sax2 as a LCD with 1280x1024@75Hz or as a VESA 1280x1024@75Hz It's a TFT but it has Analog connections ?? Thank You much and Merry Xmass Paul Ryan ============
Paul, If this monitor is not in the database of monitors, then add it to the list/file. I'm guessing you know the specs and can simply follow one of the examples in the monitor database file to add it. Have you checked already to see if it is there already?
You can find the database here: /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/api/data/cdb/monitors
after you check/insert your monitor, then drop down to init 3 and run your sax2 for the corrected setup.
Happy Holidays, Lee
Paul, I recently replaced a CRT with a LCD. The LCD told me that it was NOT receiving a signal on its digital input. So I temporarily hooked up the analog cable in parallel with the digital cable (to be able to see on the LCD display what I was doing on the computer). I ran Sax2 and defined the monitor (too new to be in the database) as a LCD with 1280x1024@75Hz. Now I could tell the LCD to use its digital input. My conclusion (right or wrong): If you are using the analog cable, define it in Sax2 as a VESA; if you are using the digital cable (plugged into digital sockets at both ends), define it as a LCD. Lee, to me having to manually update the database of monitors involves too much work. The new entry will typically want to know the monitor's DDC value (NOT stated in typical monitor documentation) and maybe even a Modeline value (*hard* to calculate!). Much easier to just tell Sax2 the monitor is generic. (I forget - Sax2 might even have an option to override the generic's synch ranges with your own explicit values.) mikus
