From a terminal within X while you have booted the LiveCD run xvidtune (emerge |
| 19 |
it if you have to). That will tell you what is the HorizSync and |
| 20 |
VertRefresh. Assuming all is looking right with the LiveCD use these |
| 21 |
settings into your xorg.conf. Another trick is to remove them completely |
| 22 |
(just comment them out) and xorg will try to guess them after it probes the |
| 23 |
hardware. It may just work. Final gotcha is the mouse. I assume that if it |
| 24 |
works with the LiveCD the same settings should do it for you, otherwise you |
| 25 |
may want to try playing with mine below and see what gives: |
