Ya, the other computer is Windows XP.
When running xvidtune this is what I get:
Vendor: Monitor Vendor Model: Dell1704FPV (Analog)
num hsync:1, num vsync:1
hsync range 0: 30.00 - 81.00
vsync range 0: 56.00 - 76.00
Video are not settable on this chip
What does the last line mean? And with these settings what would my
monitor lines look like in xorg.conf with these settings? This is what
it looks like now:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Dell 1704FPV (Analog)"
DisplaySize 340 270
HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "VESA driver (generic)"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768"
"800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Sorry for my ignorance, I usually don't install X.
On the windows machine, my settings are 1280x1024 at 75Hz refresh rate
if that helps.
