These modes are picked by xac (and probably the X server as well) |
8 |
because if you look at the EDID reported by your monitor, these are the |
9 |
modes it supports: |
10 |
ET: [[720, 400, 70], [640, 480, 75], [640, 480, 67]] (the last |
11 |
640x480 comes from the "DT" section which is the detailed timing) |
12 |
|
13 |
How is your monitor attached? Does it produce a correct EDID elsewhere? |
14 |
|
15 |
I looked up the model # (from the EDID) and it appears that you are |
16 |
correct in using a 1024x768 default (although the manual suggests a 75Hz |
17 |
refresh). In light of this, I would completely remove the "Modes" |
18 |
section and "UseModes", "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" lines from your |
19 |
xorg.conf and keep the screen size at 1024x768. I would also add the the |
20 |
line: |
21 |
Option "IgnoreEDID" "True" |
22 |
to the "Device" section to force the driver to ignore this incorrect |
23 |
edid information. |
24 |
|
25 |
Now, in the second email, it appears that X is starting properly, |
26 |
perhaps there is an issue with your wm/desktop. Can you install a |
27 |
minimal wm (like fluxbox or twm) and put that in your .xinitrc, then run |
28 |
startx again? Does this bring you to a working desktop? |
