Configuring X

I dont know my monitor's sync boundaries(samsung doesnt list them) for xorgconfig and X -configure seems to fail.  I'm running arch64.  Anything I could do to remedy this problem?

Thanks!

Re: Configuring X

didn't you find any information about your model's sync on internet ?
Last week I found a xorg.conf on ubuntu.something that just gave me this for a brand new Hanns-g 19" (vendor doesn't list this anywhere).

Re: Configuring X

Samsung's site has the monitors's manual and those have the specifications you want (probably your manual has as well).

Thanks.  After configuring Xorg I try to run it but it says it cant find the radeon module(module does not exist) I tried using modprobe but that didnt help either. 

My grfx card = Radeon X1900XT

Re: Configuring X

@adamb10: First, make sure you have the correct modules installed for xorg: xf86-video-radeon or whatever it's called.

@billy: The same as you would for any monitor. I've only once had a monitors specs not be auto-detected by X and that was corrected by adding VertRefresh 60 to xorg.conf.

Re: Configuring X

Have you tried using fglrx?

Re: Configuring X

Or quickly....

pacman -Sy hwd ati-fglrx
hwd -x
aticonfig --initial
vi /etc/rc.conf #add "fglrx" to the modules line in rc.conf, so Modules (fglrx)
reboot
#login
startx
