Hi, any help on the following people ?????
I have installed (binaries) of X386. But ........It reboots !
I editted the "Xconfig" file such that it only includes the simplest
mode ("640x480"), which has entries with clock frequencies 25 and 31 KHZ.
I type "xinit". The screen does something weard, en then it returns to
the normal shell display. Only the prompt isn't there and it *reboots*
itself.
This is my congiguration:
486 Intel (really !), 8 Mb Memory.
Seagate harddisk, 245 Mb, (if relevant)
SVGA Monitor (brand : EMC)
AT 4000 Video Card.
There are no error messages. 16 clock frequencies are recognized by
"xinit", among them is 25 Mhz. Is 16 clocks normal ?
Oh yeah ..., one final remark if it is any help .... I have a "mode"
indicator on my Monitor. There are 2 modes:
1. one for 31.5 Khz input signals, and
2. the other for 31.5 - 40 Khz. inputs (according to the manual !!).
When it run "xinit" the mode (initially mode 1) switches to mode 2
during the time the monitor acts weard. (I think it should stay mode_1
because isn't it a 25 Khz. input signal ?)
Please, post a reaction to News if you like BUT definitely Email me
too since the bloody connection doesn't work half the time.
