Hi..all..
I was using Redhat-7.3 but not without problems...as such
1.My video card (intel extreme graphics card integrated on intel845GLLY chipset) was not supported and i have selected vesa generic from the list and it worked.the resolution was 1024x768(in 16 bit color depth).
2.My sound card (intel AC 97 ICH4) was not supported.
So recently i upgraded to redhat-8.0.It recognised my video card correctly as intel845.And this card was there in the list of supported cards.after installing i tried to configure X-window.using xfree86 command.(Xconfigurator has been removed from redhat-8.0 it seems).So i entered evrything manually.
monitor:
horizontal sync:30-55
vertical syns:50-120
name: S/T/56E/V (something like this)
video card:
Intel 845( selection code 359,this card was there in the list)
video memory:8mb
And i have choosen resolution 1024x768 ( 24bit color depth) as the starting mode of X.And after finishing i started X.then i got a blank terminal
and a floating message:
SYNC OUT OF RANGE[B]
So i tried resolution 800x640( 16 bit color depth) with the other things same.then started X.It started and it worked fine.Now from X ,i started X-display and from there i probed for my monitor and video card.It probed the correct monitor( with same sync ranges as given in the monitor manual) and video card.but i want to increase my resolution.how can i do it??
now a bit of information that might be helpful:
1.I have already set 8 mb of video memory in BIOS.
2.This time selecting vesa generic also doesn't works.
3.Sync ranges are correct.(taken from manual as well they were auto probed).
