Folks, thank you for your help so far. I have made progress. The image on my screen is still unacceptable. It will be interesting to see whether linuxquestions can come up with something http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/belkin-sun-adapte… Ken Jones

You'll probably need something that says "ModeLine "number" "number" "number"...." under Display IIRC. > I think the monitor/display controlling configuration file in my Aurora machine is /etc/X11/XF86Config > > [root@kjones-sun etc]# cd X11 > [root@kjones-sun X11]# ls > applnk proxymngr twm XF86Config-4 xinit xsrirc > fs rstart X XF86Config-4.rpmsave xkb > gdm serverconfig xdm XF86Config-5 Xmodmap > lbxproxy starthere XF86Config XF86Config_orig xserver > prefdm sysconfig XF86Config~ XftConfig xsm > > It is too long to send to all.

Re: [Wlug] This is an ancient OS.

You can run X -version and you can find out about what your computer thinks it is: mason@newdelly:~$ X -version X.Org X Server 1.6.0 Release Date: 2009-2-25 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-23-server i686 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux newdelly 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:57:48 UTC 2009 i686 Build Date: 09 April 2009 02:10:02AM xorg-server 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu14 (buildd(a)rothera.buildd) Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. If that doesn't produce anything, then the X version is older than X.Org, because X11R6 was renamed X at that point. Try running the above command, but use "X11R6". Also, look at the logs directory, in /var/log there will be either X.org logs or XFree86 logs. Look at the top of those and that should tell you what version you are running. While you're at it, email us the log and we can diagnose the problem better.

If you know what modeline your monitor needs, create an xorg.conf, put the modeline in, and the monitor should work. The idea is that xorg should figure out what to do automagically, but X sucks and it never works. Giving it a working xorg.conf will make it do what you want, not it's automagic stuff. > First kjones-sun > > [root@kjones-sun X11]# uname -a > Linux kjones-sun 2.4.20-2.3sparc #1 Wed Jan 15 18:27:52 EST 2003 sparc64 unknow > > ---------- xrandr is not interesting--------------- > > [root@kjones-sun kjones]# xrandr -q > Can't open display (null) > > ----------------no xorg.conf --------- > > [root@kjones-sun kjones]# cd /etc/X11 > [root@kjones-sun X11]# ls > applnk proxymngr twm XF86Config-4 xinit xsrirc > fs rstart X XF86Config-4.rpmsave xkb > gdm serverconfig xdm XF86Config-5 Xmodmap > lbxproxy starthere XF86Config XF86Config_orig xserver > prefdm sysconfig XF86Config~ XftConfig xsm > [root@kjones-sun X11]# > > > There seems to be no xorg.conf. anywhere.
