Hello anyboy,

please, I compiled base system (bootstrap, system, some utils and xorg) gentoo 2005.1 now but I have problem. I cofigured my X.org via xorgconfig and typed "startx". X works well but I cannot return to text mode! If I press CTRL + ALT + F1, I see only "Out of range". Where`s the problem please?

I have LCD Monitor Belinea 10 17 11 and graphics card Nvidia GeForce 4 440 MX.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "My Monitor"
   HorizSync 31-80
   VertRefresh 56-75
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "** NVIDIA (generic) [nv]"
Driver "nv"
VideoRam 65536
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "** NVIDIA (generic) [nv]"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24

Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

My monitor works correctly 1280x1024@75 by default. I using framebuffer for text-console. If system booting (in 1280x1024) everything works OK but if I type "startx" I cannot return. Some solution? Thanks.

Hi

The problem is that you are using frame buffer in the text mode, so when it changes back, as it is a graphical mode, the card pushes it over the limits that the monitor can use.

Solutions are:

1st - don't use frame buffer ( remove it from kernel, easy)
2nd-configure the frame buffer to a mode that will use lower frequencies (i don't know how to do it)
3rd-get another screen, capable of more BW (easy but very expensive) ;-)
