I emerged ddcxinfo-knoppix and when I run it with -monitor, I get a |
123 |
lot of modelines, along with some HorizSync and VertRefresh values. |
124 |
These are what concern me: |
125 |
|
126 |
Section "Monitor" |
127 |
Identifier "Monitor0" |
128 |
# HorizSync 28.0 - 78.0 # Warning: This may fry very old Monitors |
129 |
HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0 # Warning: This may fry old Monitors |
130 |
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 # Very conservative. May flicker. |
131 |
# VertRefresh 50.0 - 62.0 # Extreme conservative. Will flicker. |
132 |
TFT default. |

# Default modes distilled from |

# "VESA and Industry Standards and Guide for Computer |

140 |
ModeLine "640x350" 31.5 640 672 736 832 350 382 |
141 |
385 445 +hsync -vsync |
142 |
<snip modelines here> |
143 |
|
144 |
Does this program guarantee that the settings really do work for my |
145 |
monitor or are they just generic? I need to know, especially |
146 |
considering the remarks about frying. Also, just checking to see I got |
147 |
it correctly: I would comment out all but one modeline and use that |
148 |
one, right? Again, are all modelines listed supported? (This lists |
149 |
1920x1440@75 for a 17" monitor -- not by far a wiz with this, but... |
150 |
is this right??) |
