Message-ID: <2401@sousa.tay.dec.com> Date: 19 Jan 93 15:12:00 GMT Sender: newsa@sousa.tay.dec.com Reply-To: paradis@sousa.tay.dec.com (Jim Paradis) Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 21 I'm trying to bring up Xfree86 on a box running 386BSD, and I'm having the devil of a time! I've got perhaps an unusual configuration, which might explain things... I've got a 1Mb Paradise-compatible VGA card based on the WD90C30, but my monitor is an older SVGA multisync that maxes out at 34KHz. No matter *what* I try, I can't get stable graphics on my monitor. I've tried calculating parameters by hand, I've tried the sc spreadsheets... nothing. What *really* bugs me is that under DOS, the VGA BIOS is able to kick this thing over into graphics modes just fine... Anybody got any ideas? -- Jim Paradis (paradis@sousa.tay.dec.com) I try to take one day at a time, but lately several days have attacked at once!
