System is running FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE-p1 Having just upgraded to Xorg 7.4 from 7.3 and following the instructions in UPDATING I cannot get a stable picture. Using my stock xorg.conf (see below), or a brand new config version created by "Xorg -configure" I get an extremely noisy (but stable) image if I lower resultion from my normal 1280x1024 to 1027x768. At the standard resolution the monitor is unable to sync. http://www.knigma.org.uk/scratch/Xorg.0.log http://www.knigma.org.uk/scratch/xorg.conf I've tried with and without DDC and with and without HorizSync/VertRefresh and with and without SyncOnGreen (my monitor has always product a slightly sharper picture with the latter). Any ideas? Cheers, -- Mark A. R. Knight finger: markk@knigma.org Tel: +44 7880 556751 http://www.knigma.org/
