Hello All,
Using laptop currently......
I've just built a new Debian (testing) based system which, as can be
guessed from the subject line fails to go into graphical mode.
xorg.conf is empty, and monitor complains of out of range signals (fair
enough). Running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg fails to ask any video
related questions, adding -phigh produces complaints about
--print-installation-architecture being an obsolete option and to use
--print-architecture instead. Neither of which are dpkg-reconfigure
options, AFAICT.
Running dexconf simply produces sections like this;
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
So, I'm stuck. Video chipset is NVidia GeForce 8300 and monitor is LG
W2042S with specs;
Horiz 28 - 83 kHz
Vert 56 -75 Hz
Screen res 1680 x 1050 is optimum, according to the manual.
I tried Googling for settings to go in the relevant sections of
xorg.conf, but quickly discovered I knew nowhere near enough to be able
to debug errors.
I did get some advice from the Debian ML, but the results were not
favourable. The file produced by running Xorg -config didn't improve
matters, sadly. Plugging in Sync & Refresh rates into "Device" and
"Monitor" sections didn't improve matters, either.
Any help getting X up and running will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Brad.
