Description Brian Ryner 1999-01-22 06:01:45 UTC

After updating to XFree86 3.3.3.1 via the RPMs on
updates.redhat.com, my monitor/video card are no longer
getting the correct hsync and vsync.  I have a Diamond Viper
330 card, and a MAG DJ530 monitor, and was attempting to set
up 800x600x32bpp mode.  I've rerun xf86config several times,
and tried commenting out modelines to make sure it selects
the right ones.  All this was working great before the
update.

Comment 1 David Lawrence 1999-01-22 20:46:59 UTC

We currently do not have a Diamond Viper 330 video card to replicate
this problem with. We will need to get one into our test lab as soon
as possible. Until then you may want to try our supported mailing
lists at http://archive.redhat.com to see if anyone else has posted a
solution to this issue.

Comment 2 Brian Ryner 1999-01-22 22:06:59 UTC

I backdated to the 3.3.2.3 version that comes with the 5.2 dist, and
the problem disappeared.  I am looking for the 3.3.3 update RPM's that
were posted before the 3.3.3.1 release, because that version also
worked fine.

Comment 3 Brian Ryner 1999-02-02 20:34:59 UTC

Have not verified yet but I may have found the reason for this.  The
main XFree86-3.3.3.1 package contains /usr/X11R6/lib//X11/XF86Config.
This is a change of location from /etc/X11/XF86Config, and this path
is looked at BEFORE /etc/X11.  Hence, changes to /etc/X11/XF86Config
were not taking effect.

Comment 4 Brian Ryner 1999-02-02 22:17:59 UTC

Actually, disregard previous comment as I see it's actually a link to
/etc/X11.  Sorry about that... I saw the path problem on another
system and thought it might apply here.
