Description David Stenglein 2003-07-31 02:24:25 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021018

Description of problem:
I cannot get my monitor to run at over 60Hz, after updating XFree86.
This is after I got it working, since the upgraded version needed to be
reconfigured from scratch to even start. See attached output of
XFree86 -configure, it complains about xf86PciInfo.h.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2.1-21

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2003-08-01 10:26:21 UTC
Don't use X -configure for configuration, as it is simply not reliable.

Use "redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig" exclusively instead.  Report back
wether or not it works for you, and if not, please attach the new config
file spit out by redhat-config-xfree86 and the X server log generated by
using the new config file.

TIA
