Mandrake 8.2 XFree86 4.20 Samsung Syncmaster 19 Monitors ATI AIW AGP Card Problems: Cannot get into a GUI both Syncmaster monitors blank out go into standby mode when typing startx .Have had this problem with earlier versions of Mandrake also. Have the following: Puter 1: Asus A7V MB, AMD 900mhz Thunderbird 512mb PC 133ram ATI All In Wonder 128 Pro 32mb 4x AGP video card Samsung Syncmaster 955DF 19 Monitor (Mandrake 8.2No GUI at all) Puter 2: Soyo K7V Dragon Plus MB, Athlon XP1500+ 512mb PC2100 DDR Ram ATI Radeon All In Wonder 32mb 4x AGP video card Samsung Syncmaster 950p 19 Monitor (Mandrake 8.2Works but shutdown problem) (FreeBSD works) Puter 3: Micron 200MHZ Pentuim processor Matrox Millenium 4mb PCI video card Samsung Syncmaster 950p 19 Monitor (Mandrake/FreeBSD no problem) Puter 4: Dell Dimension 233mhz Pentium 2 3DFX 16mb PCI Video card Dell Ultrascan 17 Monitor (Mandrake/FreeBSD No problem) The problem seems to be with the ATI cards,the XFree86 drivers and the Samsung Syncmaster Monitors.Puter 1 will not get into a GUI at all on either Samsung monitor.I'm having the same problem with FreeBSD 4.5 with XFree86 4.20 also.Puter 2 with the Radeon card does work fine with Mandrake BUT when REBOOTING or SHUTTING DOWN the screen goes black and I get out of sync range messages.This happens when hooked to either Samsung monitor. I hooked Puter 1 to the Dell 17 monitor- Mandrake will boot into a GUI but when I shutdown just before the text screen comes up showing the shutdown proces I saw a quick flash of the out of sync range message that I saw on the Samsung Monitors.FreeBSD works fine with Puter 1 hooked to the Dell 17 Monitor. I have entered the correct sync ranges for the Samsung Monitors and edited the /etc/X11 config files with EXACT DEVICE INFO.Below are the Config and XFree log files. My goal is to get Mandrake & FreeBSD running on PUTER 1 and solve the out of sync range shutdown problem on Puter 2. I noticed that the PCI Video cards work fine with the Samsung 19 with Mandrake/FreeBSD. Is this an AGP problem? Both machines are set to 4X in the BIOS. If you look at the log file you will see that the only error messages has to do with the Flat Panel registers. All Drivers and Modules are loading successfully. I've been screwing with this for quite sometime now. There must be something I'm missing.If Mandrake/FreeBSD work on one monitor (Dell 17 ) then why not the 19 Samsung Monitors? HELP!!!!!
