Dell Inspiron 8000 w/ ATI M4 video & sxga+ 1400x1050 LCD RC2 + updated kudzu, Xconfigurator, + XFree86 When running Xconfigurator, if you let it probe, it wants to run 1024x768x8bit color which will not work. If you manually select the 1400x1050, the sample X screen looks ok, however, when you save the configuration & startx, the screen is garbled. Manually editing the XF86Config-4 file the vertical refresh is set to 70Hz. If you change it to 60Hz, it works fine.
Probe is not a good solution for it (known, will be fixed in Xconfigurator rewrite). As for the difference is between the sample screen and the final screen, there shouldn't be any so I would love to know. What do you change in the file?
The only thing I edit is the vertical refresh & change from 70Hz to 60Hz
Exactly what do you change? What are the original lines, what are the new lines?
Hmmm well it looks like I may have listed a bit of mis-information (sorry...), but I am not able to repeat exactly as above today. When NOT probing, and choosing the Generic 1400X LCD, when you get to the selection process for resolution & color depth, 1400x1050 is not an option. I can choose 1024x768 or 1280x1024 and when the test comes up it is distorted however, you can still click the yes button to accept it. Then edit the XF86Config-4 and change: "VertRefresh" from 50-70 to 50-60 AND Change Screen section to look like this: DefaultDepth 32 Subsection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1400x1054" EndSubSection
Would this change in general be a good thing for this LCD screen? We don't have access to any hardware like this...

ping?
Sorry for the lack of updates on my part. 60Hz is ok on most of our LCD's. At this point I have received more hardware to work with that is not prototype. It looks like we have to add custom mode lines to get some of these LCD's working now. Also, I understand this driver is not supposed to work with 32bit color depth. I will attach all the XF86Config-4 files for our different panel sizes.

Dan: I'm adding entries for these monitors to the monitor database, but would you possibly be able to provide me with a windows .inf for these monitors or at least the EDID ID strings associated with each monitor? This would greatly aid in autoprobing.
monitor definitions added.
