Re: [Thinstation-general] Problem with TFT Monitor

[Trevor B. <tre...@us...>]

Sorry Andreas,

missed your first post (Christmas & all that...)

It looks like it is bootsplash that is causing the out-of-sync message.
What happens if you wait a few minutes (normal boot time)?

Please set RECONNECT_PROMPT=Off (so that we can break in and go to the
console).

If it never clears, then you probably won't be able to debug or use the
LiveCD (time for a TSoM experiment ... :-)

We'll assume that Thinstation does actually boot (we have waited the
appropriate amount of time for a boot).

To see what X thinks is happening and what it doesn't like:
- alt+f2
- enter
- log in as root with a password of pleasechangeme
- more /var/log/boot.log (shows you where it has got to in the boot
process)
- more /var/log/Xorg.0.log

This is very verbose, but has all of the information that X has used in
trying to recognise your video card and the settings that it supports.

If it wasn't bootsplash, we can try some other options.

It's normally advisable to try with the SCREEN_HORIZSYNC &
SCREEN_VERTREFRESH commented out. But on the older drivers (ATI RAge Pro
being one of those), this doesn't always work.

One other thing to try where the card doesn't correctly support 16bit:
- SCREEN_COLOR_DEPTH=15 with SESSION_0_OPTIONS="-a 15"

Good Luck
Trevor B
