[linux-help] Re: REDHAT 7.2

[Bruce Bales <bbales@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sudharsha,
I am using a SIS630 card (built in to the motherboard) and RH7.2.  What
worked for me was to capture the error messages that occur when I
started X:
touch /home/startlog
startx 2> /home/startlog

Then compare the reasons listed for not using each horizontal or
vertical frequency with what I had input.  For instance, my monitor had
vert. of 60-90 and I found an 800x600 that said "... needs 56.5 Hz
vertical ..."
So I put 56-90 instead of 60-90 in the XF86Config file and got a
beautiful KDE.

good luck, bruce

Actually, it's quite difficult to persuade people
that you are bombing them for their own good.
