Description Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-17 13:59:55 UTC

hwinfo gives me an empty output when using "--monitor" option. Therefore sax2
tries to use the PAL resolution since a tv board is plugged in. Unfortunately a
TFT monitor is in use which cannot be driven witch such a resolution (vert/horiz
sync to low). The result is a blank monitor when starting sax. :-(

The machine for testing is currently running as f73.

adjusted ...

Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-19 13:53:50 UTC

Providing a dummy entry to see if it would help at all to change hwinfo:

hwprobe=+10001:IVM:1901 hwinfo --monitor
hwprobe=+10001:IVM:1901 sax2

With Beta2 I now always get a monitor entry (640x480), also without setting
"hwprobe" (framebuffer is disabled). PAL resolution is always detected. SaX2 uses 
the 640x480 resolution and therefore no longer runs into this problem. Closing
as FIXED.
