RE: Doesn't start by Max Noel on Thursday January 1st 2009, 14:05 Okay, forget about my intuition. The problem's been under my eyes all along. The output trace says: err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1024x768x32 @8784360! (XRandR) (substitute XRandR with desktop when a virtual desktop is emulated) Now, activating trace debugs for x11settings gives a slightly more detailed explanation of these numbers: trace:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx width=1024 height=768 bpp=32 freq=8784360 (XRandR) It turns out that 8784360 is not, as I thought, a memory address, but a refresh rate! Of course, mode line or not, *no* display or graphics card is capable of displaying eight *million* images per second. Dheart's problem is the exact same (only with a slightly different number, but still in the several megahertz range). [post new] [reply to this]
