  • ATI Radeon X1600XT

    I have 21" Panasonic, PanaSync Pro 7G monitor and ATI Radeon X1600XT graphic card on 8.10 ubuntu.
    I installled mesa 7.2 driver, and everything works fine exept one thing, how will i say this. There is a black space all around main screen, and in Screen Resolution says Panasonic 20". I have success to set up screen resoolution and refresh rate using Modeline.

    This is my xorg.conf:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Radeon X1600"
    driver "ati"
    EndSection

    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Generic monitor"
    Modeline "1600x1200" 2258.20 1600 2736 5448 10632 1200 1200 1209 1327

    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Generic monitor"
    Monitor "Generic monitor"
    Device "Radeon X1600"
    EndSection

    What should i change?
    Thanx, and sorry for my bad english.

    What happens if you comment out the modeline ?

    Are you running the version of radeon/ati which came with 8.10 ?

      You mean like this:
      Modeline 1600x1200 2258.20 1600 2736 5448 10632 1200 1200 1209 1327

      When i restart it's says this:
      Problem parsing the config file.
      Error parsing the config file.

      Then i can only revert to default xorg.conf.

      Yes i use driver which came on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit Live CD.

      There is something strange, the resolution has stay 1600x1200@75, but there is no line Modeline. ??? Now i am completely lost...

        I was thinking of replacing :

        Modeline "1600x1200" 2258.20 1600 2736 5448 10632 1200 1200 1209 1327

        with :

        # Modeline "1600x1200" 2258.20 1600 2736 5448 10632 1200 1200 1209 1327

        I think what you did is also causing X to ignore the modeline, but you are getting an error message in the process. These days the server and drivers are pretty good at picking the right mode from the EDID information supplied by the display. You only need modelines in cases where the EDID information is wrong (which happens) or or when you simply want to do something different from what the monitor is designed for.

        If you are also getting black borders even with the modeline ignored one possibility to consider is that whatever card/driver you were using previously had the timing a bit wrong and you might have adjusted the display to have the right image size with *that* signal - just thought I would mention it...

          Ok, i change it to:
          # Modeline "1600x1200" 2258.20 1600 2736 5448 10632 1200 1200 1209 1327
          and nothing happened, i still get the black borders.
          I don't think i can fallow you, but i understand some what you saying. This maybe happening because my monitor is old?
          This is all what i can find out about my Monitor:
          Panasonic, PanaSync Pro 7G, 21", 95kHz, 160Hz, 0.25mm
          It's old timer but i live in God forsaken land, and i have no mooney to buy a new one...
          And by the way, thanx for trying to help me.

            Is this an analog monitor? If so you should be able to adjust the vertical and horizontal size in the on screen config. Also if you monitor provides an edid, it should have the preferred timing for the mode you want.

                Check your xorg log and see if the monitor provides an edid. If not you may need to add a modeline. You can use the controls on your monitor to adjust the size of the image.

                  Thanx everyone, i success to fix it with editing xorg.conf:
                  Section "Device"
                  Identifier "Configured Video Device"
                  Option "NoDDC"
                  EndSection

                  Section "Monitor"
                  Identifier "Default monitor"
                  VendorName "Panasonic"
                  ModelName "PanaSync/Pro 7G"
                  HorizSync 30.0 - 115.0
                  VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
                  EndSection

                  Section "Screen"
                  Identifier "Default Screen"
                  Monitor "Default monitor"
                  Device "Configured Video Device"
                  EndSection

                  Now only left to to tweak xorg.conf.
