I installed a ATI Radeon R100 QD card on a Desktop. My setup is: System: Dell PE 300 Monitor: Dell 1702FP Graphics Card: ATI Radeon R100 QD To get this to work at all I turned off 'dri', manually set the HorizSync and VertRefresh and put a Modes line in the Depth 16 display section. I have it working with KDE but running when Xorg -config xorg.conf, the background grid waves around. Under KDE it works fine. Does any one know if this is a problem for the monitor? Second I would like to fix the default background problem as I like to use twm to upgrade. The changed parts of xorg.conf: Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Load "dri" <---------- Load "extmod" Load "glx" : ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 30.0 - 80.0 <---------- VertRefresh 75.0 <---------- Option "DPMS" : Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" # DefaultDepth 16 <----- get selected by default : SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" <----- required EndSubSection : Thanks for any ideas. _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601
