 |
|
Hi everyone,
I've been editing my XFree config file to get the screen at the resolution and refresh rate that I want. However KDE doesn't list them still so I can't use them for some reason.
Here is the relevant section of my config file :
| Code: | Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Dell P991"
# HorizSync is in kHz unless units are specified.
# HorizSync may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a
# comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
# USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
HorizSync 31.5 - 82.0
# HorizSync 30-64 # multisync
# HorizSync 31.5, 35.2 # multiple fixed sync frequencies
# HorizSync 15-25, 30-50 # multiple ranges of sync frequencies
# VertRefresh is in Hz unless units are specified.
# VertRefresh may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a
# comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
# USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
VertRefresh 75-100
Gamma 1.00 1.00 1.00 # created by KGamma
EndSection
<snip>
ection "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "NVIDIA GeForce"
Monitor "Dell P991"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x960/85" "1024x768/85" "800x600/85" "640x480/85"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x960/85" "1024x768/85" "800x600/85" "640x480/85"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x960/85" "1024x768/85" "800x600/85" "640x480/85"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection |
As you can see I'm trying to get 1280x960 at 85Hz, isn't that the correct way to do it? I know the monitor can support it as by messing around I got it up to 1600x1200@65
KDE seems to be completely ignoring what I specify in my config file when I go in Peripheral>Display. The choice I want are almost never there and I never see the 85Hz always lower than that and sometime even in the 60 when my range is from 75 to 100.
How am I suppose to get KDE to use the specs I set instead of what appears to be random ones.
Thanks!

I think you may have the wrong values there. Try:
| Code: |
HorizSync 30-107
VertRefresh 48-120

Hi j-kidd,
Thanks a bunch! That worked perfectly! How did you figure out those values? I'm new to Linux and I chose some ranges that were suggested by xf86config. Now I can finally continue setting up my box

| You are welcome I just noticed that the VertRefresh range is a little uncommon (as mine is 50-120), so I googled for dell p991 vertical horizontal and got those values. |
