Only installed mach64 driver. I added the clock section, trying 28.636 then 29.5 as values. New xorg.conf.new http://slexy.org/view/s20yam1lZu Now the monitor blacks out, which is an improvement from a no signal call. New /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://slexy.org/view/s203VP3WtN I'm going to argue for the ">setenv output-device /path/to/graphics card" for reason that until I did so, the default was for the UPA/sunffb. So, the question is: "I have a connection to the monitor but a black screen with nothing, what am I missing from xorg.conf.new?"
