VESA is a standard for video bios. Most graphic boards support
it. I dont
think VESA standard applies to Monitors. For monitors check
the back side
Thanks for clearing my fundaas. I never really knew abt it. Thanks again.
of the cover to find if it is a VGA or SVGA. Even if you know
this, the
clock rates and frequencies differ from model to model for
various
resolutions. But there are a few common ones you could try.
For eg. many
older monitors (like my Philips 14C) have 800x600 @ 56Hz.
Newer monitors
may have 60Hz for that resolution. Monitors with different CRT
sizes also
have different frequencies. So I guess it is best to refer to
the Monitor
Manual as wrong settings may _physically_ damage it.
Okay, we were able to configure the video card, and the X was also up. We used the X server for SiS cards which is available at SuSE's ftp site. Everything works fine, except :
1> The screen flickers a lot, specially when there is some action (kbd as well as mouse). Think this the refresh rate is not properly set. Let me see. 2> The default GUI config util, SaX, is still not being able to run. Even if we manually set it to xsis by command line switch. It gives us an error *xsis server not installed on this machine*. This means SaX is not finding the xsis server. May be some soft link is reqd. Any idea regarding where the other X-servers are installed ? Any one with exp. with SuSE plz help.
Thanks a lot.
