Dear folks,
I have a machine that was working fine with a flat panel monitor at
work. I brought the machine home to connect to a TV with PC input and
I get Out of Range message. X does not start. This same machine has
autologin setup so after I start it up and X fails to load, I switch
terminals with CTRL + ALT + FX where X is 1, 2, ... to see if I can
run
# Xorg -configure
and adjust so I can use the TV as a monitor, but it says that X is
already running and I have to rm /tmp/X0-lock or similar file. I do
that but I can't get to run Xorg -configure
I pop in a linux live CD and I look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and I see this line
[ 117.620] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Modeline "1366x768"x59.8 84.75 1366
1432 1568 1776 768 770 780 798 -hsync +vsync (47.7 kHz)
I know FreeBSD still has nv and no nouveau(unless I compile from
ports), is there a magical incantanation on how to troubleshoot this
so I can use FreeBSD at home with this machine? Or do I switch to
another monitor and be happy with it?
Thanks,
Antonio
