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.
