| Thanks for your reply. Lets see:
|
| root# xresprobe savage id: res: freq:
|
| It does not give me much response. I set the HorizSync and
| VertRefresh to those values to match the specifications given at
| http://www.taxan.co.uk/old.htm#895 .


Ok.

Well can you send me the logs of the X server that causes the problem?
the one in the previos message was with the working one.
I need to be able to compare the good and the bad one.
