Howdy all, Any recommendation as to the right way to config X. Last time I did was using X86Setup back in OpenBSD 2.7 days. What's the Xorg tool? How do I invoke it? Looks like I just need to fix the ranges, maybe they mean sync vert & horiz or something. Or should I be typing gdm instead of startx? Any advice? -below are some errors, infos, although the dmesg didn't pipe out the darn video card name, it's an onboard Nvidia, and the erros says RADEON, which is Dianmod/ATI from what I remember. # from /var/log/messages Dec 7 14:38:48 devbox02 kernel: mtrr: type mismatch for f0000000,1000000 old: write-back new: write-combining #from startx command: X Window System Version 6.8.2 Release Date: 9 February 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.2 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL x86_64 [ELF] Current Operating System: Linux devbox02.mycorp.net 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMPTue Aug 15 10:35:26 BST 2006 x86_64 Build Date: 23 August 2006 Build Host: mehak.karan.org Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.
