Graphics issues with CLI

Kwpolska · 2010-12-04 11:41:31

I have 2 problems with my Arch Linux system.
1. While I boot up, I start in the 80x24 lines mode. Then after loading modules it goes into a 1280x1024px framebuffer. How can I make it working with 1280x1024 all the time? [fixed]
2. If I start Xorg, I can't get back to CLI. My monitor shows an error stating "OUT OF RANGE". What's up?

What hardware are you using?

It's called "early start" - look in the wiki.

As for the second problem - check your frequency settings, they may be too high for your monitor.

Issue 1 fixed. The hardware is:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

And if somebody cares - the monitor is LG Flatron L1919S.
In terms of checking the frequency, I'm not sure if it will work - before starting Xorg it works fine. After exitting Xorg my monitor throws this error:

OUT OF RANGE
125.5 kHz / 24 Hz

I have the exact same problem, and I still can't fix it. That because I can't install my graphics card. The only way to access xorg -for me- is by removing xorg.conf.

Synchronization Range - Vertical 56 - 75 Hz
Synchronization Range - Horizontal 30 - 83 kHz

Over a 100 kHz is definitely too high for your gear and 24 Hz is far too low.

I know. Is there a way to force the value in the framebuffer?

How do you configure your xorg?

It's configured automatically, but I don't think it's a Xorg issue, because everything is fine before Xorg starts AND in Xorg. When I attempt to exit it, the error pops up and I'm forced to reset the machine.
