OKay, I know this is hardly FreeBSD related..
But being the newbie of the hour entitles me a few quick
questions :) (okay, I'm not so much a newbie, but have been up for far
too long.. :(
Got lots of packages installed onto 2.0R, incuding the X3.1
distribution. Trying to get an Xserver going..
Got Mono, VGA16, and SVGA. Being ambitious, tried to get all or
any of them working.. has been easy with Xfree86-2.. but I cannot get
these new ones to go. The error output indicates all my Modes being deleted..
I have a standard boring 640x480 monitor (VGA) (Goldstar, unknown
specs). I have a vgawonder card - in the past it was no problem to set
up, just give it a few standard modelines kicking around, and let it go -
the probe would reveal all. Now, however, the old reliable mode lines
fail, and all modes are deleted, so the various servers cannot start.
startx (vga2) output follows:
If anyone can let me know of a boring standard modeline that
would allow SVGA and VGA16 and even Mono to go on a normal VGA monitor, I
would be very happy..
Jeff
Errors follow, and then my XF86Config file. I've tried uncommenting the
hertz rates, and leaving them commented - same errors. Unknown values to
be put in there..
