Hello,

Does anyone have a working xorg.conf file from an Ultra 5 with a Sony / Sun GDM-20D10?

Does anyone know where I could find the manual (in PDF) for the monitor? I've looked at Sun's and Sony's WWW site but not been able to find anything.

Thanks.

What is your graphics card? If you have Creator or Elite graphics, you don't need to do anything special at all; that is a standard sun monitor and should "just work" (assuming you have correct connectors). Otherwise, you can find the specs for the monitor itself by using a fairly exhaustive web search. (I know because I have done it; I even have the specs for the monitor lying around someplace, but I haven't a clue where, so your waiting for me to dig them up would not be a good strategy. :( )

Regards,
Ferris

Let me revise my answer. It was based on a GDM-20E20. GDM-20E10 is probably OK, but I can't speak to it first hand.

I've done quite a lot of looking. Most references to the GDM-20D10 talk about adapting it to run on a PC - various hardware adaptors. The few documents I've found describing the technical characteristics eg scan rates are contradictory. I've found one "modeline" string which works but at a resolution that is too high - 1280 x 1024. Very few talk about running it with X.

When the tech sheet talks about 60-81 KHz (Kilo Hetrz) [sic] one isn't inspired with much confidence.

Keyboard and mouse appear to be working ok.

I'm about 20 hours into emerging gnome. Only 44 more items to download, compile and install.

If it still interesting - the following works fine for me:

Section "Monitor"
HorizSync 60.0 - 90.0
VertRefresh 95.0 - 101.0
ModeLine "1024x768" 100 1024 1024 1184 1264 768 776 784 817
EndSection
