Description Forgotten User QtBI7gWTIh 2008-11-24 07:32:52 UTC
I have a NVIDIA 8500GT and a LG L227WT 22" LCD Monitor connected digital, it is not possible to start SAX2 (-L, -r....) in init 3 mode. The monitor is always going out of range "HS".


I can change the config in init 5 mode, but after the change I have to reboot ?
A init 3 - 5 is not possible ?

Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2008-11-24 07:56:00 UTC
Thanks. I'll try to reproduce with a similar card (8400 GS).
Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2008-11-24 12:00:30 UTC
I don't see this issue on my 8400 GS with a CTX 1280x1024 monitor digitally connected. Tried with your xorg.conf. Screen comes up with 800x600 as expected.
I suggest to remove the following lines from your xorg.conf:

 HorizSync    20-46
 Option       "PreferredMode" "800x600"
 VertRefresh  50-60

and replace

  SubSection "Display"
            Depth      24
            Modes      "800x600" 
  EndSubSection

with

  SubSection "Display"
            Depth      24
            Modes      "1680x1050" 
  EndSubSection

Does this help? Please attach new Xorg.0.log. Thanks.

Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2008-11-24 14:29:18 UTC
Ok. So SaX2 saves another config as it writes for startup. In this case remove

  HorizSync    30-83
  Option       "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
  VertRefresh  56-75

and replace

  SubSection "Display"
      Depth      24
      Modes      "1280x1050" [...]
  EndSubSection

with 

  SubSection "Display"
      Depth      24
      Modes      "1680x1050"
  EndSubSection
Comment 6 Forgotten User QtBI7gWTIh 2008-11-24 19:05:13 UTC
OK, now I tested it.

On my system Sax is not starting correct :(.

The Monitor is going out of Sync
Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2008-11-24 19:29:56 UTC
Instead of starting SaX please try starting Xorg directly and attach new Xorg.0.log.
Comment 8 Forgotten User QtBI7gWTIh 2008-11-24 21:11:46 UTC
You mean init 3, startx ?

OK the log is attached.

Comment 10 Stefan Dirsch 2008-11-26 02:46:24 UTC
Ok. Monitor again out of Sync when using startx?
Comment 11 Forgotten User QtBI7gWTIh 2008-11-26 07:31:12 UTC
No, it is only with SaX2 out of sync 81.3/65Hz ?

the Monitor have
HR 30-83
VR 56-75

I start hwinfo --monitor, is hwinfo broken ?

Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2008-11-26 09:00:48 UTC
For some reasons the monitor cannot be detected by hwinfo. Then SaX2 make some weird assumptions, which result in 

  HorizSync    20-46
  VertRefresh  50-60

for xorg.conf used by sax2 to start the Xserver. But it seems these get ignored by nv anyway. So you still should have a working SaX2. I curently don't understand this behaviour.
Comment 13 Stefan Dirsch 2008-11-26 14:49:02 UTC
Since I cannot reproduce this issue at all I'm afraid you need to live with that now. The easiest for you at the moment is to run 'sax2 -a -r', then adjust
HorizSync, VertRefresh and resolution as mentioned before and then to do the finetuning on top of  a running Xserver. Basically this is a duplicate.
