When it finishes/crashes/***? you should see a # type exit (two times since you will start as regular user) and it should tell you script script done on .... and give you a $ If you know the Model of your Monitor and how much Horizontal Frequency and Vertical Frequency The monitor has for instance, I have a ViewSonic Graphics Series G75f, Monitor it has the following Frequency, which I got from http://www.viewsonic.com/support/desktopdisplays/crtmonitors/graphicseries/g75fplusb/ INPUT SIGNAL Video RGB analog (75 ohms, 0.7 Vp-p) Sync H/V separated (TTL), composite Frequency Fh: 30~86kHz; Fv: 50~160Hz It goes into xorg.conf as follows Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "ViewSonic" ModelName "Graphics Series G75f" HorizSync 30.0 - 86.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 180.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection you can type them your self as root # you could also try # Xorg -configure it will return something like to test your Xorg file type the following.
