I can use 16bpp for 640*480 but not for 800*600

Post by Huo, Ya » Sun, 02 Jun 1996 04:00:00



Hello, there.

I need help.

I can use 1024*768 8bpp and 640*480 16bpp but not 800*600 16bpp color
for my Linux XFree86 3.1.2E (SVGA driver).

My vedio card is a Trident TGUI9440AGI PCI 1Mb. My monitor is a MAG
DX15F.

When I use 1024*768 8bpp display, the "Maximum allowed dot clock" is
75MHz for my X. When I tried the 16bpp color display, the "Maximum
allowed dot clock" was changed to be only 31.5MHz. Is that normal?

I used xf86config to prepare my XF86Config file. For the 640*480
display, I got one mode in the list that it has a mode clock smaller
than 31.5MHZ. For the 800*600 display, I didn't get such a mode in the
list. The result is that the 640*480 16bpp display is fine but the
800*600 16bpp display is not available.

Anybody knows the solution? How can I get a 800*600 display mode which
has a mode clock smaller than 31.5MHz and can fit for my display card
and monitor? Or how can I have the "Maximum allowed dot clock" to be
bigger than 31.5MHz when I use 16bpp color?

Many thanks in advance.

1. HELP: Problem with X Windows (won't run 800 x 600 @ 16bpp)

HI folks

I am having a big problem with setting up X Windows (in Redhat 6.0) to
run at 800 x 600 with 65K colours.

It didn't work when I used Xconfigurator to set it up (it was already
running fine at 1024 x 768 by 256 coloura)... so I edited the
XF86Config file and uncommented the lines referring to linear bit
addressing...

It then worked but, when X starts up there are no fonts and no
icons... the screen is all blank although there are grey blobs where
each of the icons and menus should be...

Even if you then open a terminal window the window contents are
unreadable...

This is obviously a problem since I want to re-edit the XF86Config
file...

Any suggestions?

i) How do I get out of X and get to a usuable root prompt?
CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE does not seem to work properly...

ii)How do I get to run at 800 x 600 with visible fonts, icons etc..

Thanks

Matt
