<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> Once I limited it to 256M, X would start but it put my (older) CRT monitor into a power save state (or gave it a mode it couldn't handle). When I connected my wife's LCD monitor prior to starting X it would work correctly even if I switched back to the CRT (both use 15-pin VGA connectors). I believe this is in part because the CRT doesn't provide EDID information. I'm a bit confused by what I see in the log when I start X with the CRT connected, it has a message about configuring crtc(0) for 1152x768, but all those modes are rejected above; there's also a message for crtc(1) in 1024x768 but it's a single-headed configuration. (When the LCD is connected there's only messages for crtc(0) in 1024x768.)
<br></blockquote><div><br>It's probably a useless observation, but I got it to "work" by changing avivo_output_setup to always assign output->possible_crtcs = 1. (I expect this kills any chance of running dual headed.) It came up in 1024x768 @ 60Hz -- the refresh rate surprises me. In my
xorg.conf, I've got "HorizSync 31.5 - 64.3" and "VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0" which I thought should allow 75Hz. (I get 1024x768 with fglrx.) Is this just a limitation of the driver in its current state? I hope this provides a bit more of a clue for someone...
