> > how should I config X11 on a ATI Xpert 99, 8M with a Packard bell PB 8528 SVG monitor? > Your monitor manual should list the Horizontal Sync rate (aka line frequency) as a range expressed in kHz, and the Vertical Sync rate (aka refresh frequency) in Hz. Enter those ranges (or, if no other option, numbres) when XF86Config/XF86Setup asks for them. For the video card, you need do nothing more than find the correct driver for them (it might be SVGA, I don't know). Everything else about the video card should be probed and configured automatically. After that, you probably need to fiddle with XF86Config/XF86Setup to get your window centered in the screen, sized correctly, etc. Then enter those numbers as a "mode" for your monitor. An example of a mode is: ModeLine "1280x1024" 181.75 1280 1400 1528 1768 1024 1031 1046 1104 -hsync -vsync But I wouldn't recommend you use this one. Overdriving the monitor is bad! Whether you use XF86Config or XF86Setup shouldn't really matter. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
