| 137877 | 2003-04-23 10:10:00 | Had a read thru the man pages and it wasnt any help. No other config files to edit.. Should I see about updating the driver? Im currently using the standard RH9 nv driver :-) |

Have a look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log for lines like: (II) RADEON(0): monitor1: Using hsync range of 30.00-71.00 kHz (II) RADEON(0): monitor1: Using vrefresh range of 50.00-160.00 Hz (II) RADEON(0): Clock range: 20.00 to 350.00 MHz (II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "320x175" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (WW) (1400x1050,monitor1) mode clock 122MHz exceeds DDC maximum 110MHz (II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (hsync out of range) (II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (width too large for virtual size) etc. It will tell you what modes its throwing away that it thinks won't work with your monitor. |

| 137879 | 2003-04-23 22:46:00 | Ah, well.. Id say that's right due to an error I got with it when playing round with the config file, but Im gonna have to leave RedHat for now, formatting the partitions coz Im moving around my HDD's and putting sum in other PC's etc. Selling. Upgrading.. buying a CD-R/W and all my IDE places are taken an I dont wanna fork out for a PCI IDE card.... Anyways, thanks:-) Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 137880 | 2003-04-26 08:58:00 | I have just installed RH9 (dual booting with RH7.3). I also didn't get the option beyond 800x600 during setup. I used the graphical setup for the screen resolution but it didn't work - I could select 1024x768 but after restarting Xwindows, it was back at 800x600! On about the 4th go, it (magically) worked! | JohnD (509) | ||
