Rounds and Ovals.Graphics issues

This is my xorg.conf.

Create a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then change to mode until you get what you want. You probably need to reboot.

The refresh rate of 0 is not correct for analog outputs, it needs to be 60Hz and above, older monitors will complain or just plain switch off with a message "frequency out of range" if you set anything above 60Hz, but newer ones cope with 85Hz easily.
As for digital panels connected via DVI on both sides, i do not know for sure since i never had problems with them so i never checked, but i know they use signalling similar to HDMI, namely 2 very fast channels for sending information about each and every dot on the screen. So Andy might be right that digital panels can do with a 0Hz refresh, but then again graphic cards do have to know how many frames per second to send to the monitor, so i am not sure. Me thinks this to be tested later, when santa bring more time.

Thanks Andy and Tom,
Your encouragement is making me more determined to get to the bottom of this. As mentioned by Andy I set out to create an xorg.conf and got into new territory of Linux . I will post a detailed list of errors that show up.

Regards.

If you are unfamiliar with Linux then there are a few details that I left out.

To create the file, open a terminal and type "sudo gedit". This will open the text editor in a mode where it has the privileges to write to the /etc/X11 folder.
Paste the text from my post into the file, and save-as /etc/X11/xorg.conf

You should find that the screen display is set to 1280x0124 on the next reboot.

Then try editing the file to request different resolutions.

If you find that you end up with no video, you should be able to re-boot into safe-mode text terminal, then you can rename the xorg.conf file to something else, reboot, try other numbers, change the name back, and reboot.

To rename a file in Linux you can use the "mv" (move) command

Sorry for the delayed response. I have modified the xorg.conf as per your example and tried various values for Horsync and Vertsync. No change. I went back in to check if the file saved with the changes and it does. I've rebooted or reloaded everytime and no change.

Does it at least change the resolution?
