| 57152 | 2002-06-25 09:25:00 | Well I installed this the other day. Bit of a contrast to say Mandrake, Slackware leaves you on your own to configure X Server and I have problems. I have searched the internet high and low for details of my Unisys 2000 (something) monitor for my XF86Config file but no luck. X Server runs but updates the screen in a seemingly random fashion (like Windows ha ha). Any suggestions... Actually I stole the XF86Config from my RedHat 7.1/Philips monitor and that helped but a Philips is not a Unisys. | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 57153 | 2002-06-26 05:50:00 | Won't it work as a "Generic SVGA Monitor"? It's not a Good Idea to copy the configuration file from another machine. (or is it the same machine, with a new Linux? Even so, X window is likely to fall over if it hasn't been properly configured). The main problems are usually with the video card. Monitors either can (or in my case can't ) handle the higher resolution settings. It's probably best to actually run the configuration script. Slackware will have given you the same tools --- just doesn't shove them down your throat. |
