[techtalk] More X

[Michelle Murrain]

Well, I got version 4.03 of XFree86, and I still get the same problem 
- the standard svga driver, as well as the one that got installed by 
default by Progeny, has the same sort of "off" color. I've tried a 
number of the other X servers (for no good reason, really), and 
either I get the same "off" color, or I get a white screen I have to 
recover from.

I long while ago, I did have X working well with Debian, with this 
hardware, but that X config file is long lost. So I know it's 
possible.

The log files don't give me much of a clue - although there is one 
list of stuff in the log files that are interesting:

(==) GLINT(0): Min pixel clock is 16 MHz

(--) GLINT(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024)
(**) GLINT(0): Default mode "1024x768": 78.8 MHz, 60.1 kHz, 75.1 Hz
(**) GLINT(0): Default mode "800x600": 49.5 MHz, 46.9 kHz, 75.0 Hz
(**) GLINT(0): Default mode "640x480": 31.5 MHz, 37.5 kHz, 75.0 Hz

Are these "bad mode clock" entries significant?
