We are in the process of moving from RedHat 9 to Fedora Core 2. = When doing "Xorg -confirm", we get the following stanza: Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 320 240 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "DEL" ModelName "DELL P793" HorizSync 1129329536.0 - 0.0 HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0 VertRefresh 842024000.0 - 0.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection (Yes, we are using a DELL P793 monitor.) Not too surprisingly, X windows complained about the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines. I removed the first HorizSync line, and replaced the VertRefresh line with = VertRefresh 50 - 160 (These values were from the old XF86Config-4 file.) X windows now starts up fine, and works fine. However, when one logs out from the X windows session, a box starts wandering around the screen, said box containing a msg complaining that the refresh rate was wrong. CTRL-ALT-F2 (etc.) did not switch me to a virtual console. CTRL-ALT-DEL did not reboot the machine. The only "fix" was to do a hard reboot. So, does anybody have the proper values for the vertical refresh rate? Should this be reported as a bug, and (if so), to whom? Thanks. -- = Art Werschulz (8-{)} "Metaphors be with you." -- bumper sticker GCS/M (GAT): d? -p+ c++ l u+(-) e--- m* s n+ h f g+ w+ t++ r- y? = Net: agw(a)dsm.fordham.edu WWW= Phone: Fordham U.
