Hi all,
Typically I dont have issues with configuring X. However this time its an issue. I have an NVIDIA graphics card trying to do 1920x1080.
<snipsnipsnipsnipsnipsnipsnipsnipsnipsnipsnip>
My job mainly consists in installing Linux on various hardware. When it comes down to configure X, I just kept the habit from Slackware days of configuring it by hand. In the case of an NVidia card:
1) Get into console mode:
# init 3
2) first install the module: either from the RPMForge archives, or from the installer from nvidia.com. (Lynx is your friend :oD)
3) Run a first configure attempt:
# X -configure
4) Edit xorg.conf by hand.
5) Sometimes, horizontal and vertical refresh rates aren't guessed by 'X -configure', so what I usually do is run read-edid from a Knoppix CD. Can be an older release (mine is 3.6).
I know it can be done differently, but then, different ways lead to Saint-Bauzille-de-Putois...
Cheers,
Niki
