Description Jared Riley 2006-10-19 07:23:27 UTC

Yesterday I ran the command emerge --update world.  As part of this, it appears to have upgraded X to version 7.1.

My X server no longer works properly.  It no longer uses the correct settings for the monitor.  My monitor just goes blank and puts up a message about "Invalid Scan Frequency".

I have a Matrox G400 and an Hitachi Superscan 753.

I forgot to mention in the original post that I'm using KDE.

So, what are you exactly requesting here? There's no error in Xorg.log. Your monitor is misconfigured, set HorizSync and VertRefresh to values that it can handle.

Comment 6 Jared Riley 2006-10-19 08:13:22 UTC

I've had these settings for 6 years.

It worked until yesterday.

The only thing that changed was the upgrade to 7.1.

Yes, my car worked for 6 years and it doesn't any more. Did you actually even try anything (like running xorgconfig) before filing a bug? This isn't a support forum.

Yes.  I ran xorgcfg.

I actually re-ran xorgcfg, runs and then goes blank.

Here's the log.

I think half way through the log I can see it getting the monitor settings itself.

I have the exact same symptons. Upgrading to the masked version x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga-1.4.2 did solve the issue for me. Apperently x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga-1.4.1-r1 is broken for mga G400 cards

Works for me too.

Thanks for the info.

Everyone's stable on a newer version now, so closing.
