Samsung syncmaster 933sn xorg.conf
Would anyone be kind enough to post a working xorg.conf file for a Samsung syncmaster 933SN. My s3 savage ix/mx video card does not work in freebsd 8.0.
I intend to use my spare Samsung video instead. |

What is the link between a monitor and a video card? Adding monitor-related settings in xorg.conf will not replace a failing video card driver.
If you get your driver to work, use these settings: Code:
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1920x1080" EndSubSection EndSection If the driver doesn't work, you may want to install the vesa driver and use Driver "vesa" instead of the S3 driver.

Samsung syncmaster 933sn xorg.conf
As a matter of fact, everytime a tried the command Xorg -configure, the driver used in xorg.conf.new is always vesa, not s3.
My video card does not support 1920x1080 resolution. It has only 8Mb. I substituted vesa for s3. I changed the Hsync and Vrefresh for both drivers. When you try the command Xorg -configure and then Xorg -config xorg.conf.new, I get a nicely configured screen, but when I copy the xorg.conf.new to /etc/xorg.conf, X will not startx. "illegal extended x86 opcode!" error appears. I searched in several sites and forums unsuccessfully for an answer to solve this kind of error. As to " Adding monitor-related settings in xorg.conf will not replace a failing video card driver.", you are right. |

Is the S3 driver installed for sure?
I don't know if it's a typo, but xorg.conf should be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Sansung syncmaster 933sn xorg.conf
Yes, it was a typo. I copied the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I am not sure that the s3 driver is loaded. I tried the command kldload s3 and went to loader.conf and added: load_s3="YES" and rebooted. I removed the xorg.conf.new file and tried again Xorg -configure. A message appeared: list of drivers: ati, radeon, intel,mach64,nv,openchrome,r128,radeonhd, vesa. When you type kldstat, the s3 driver is not present (not loaded). I installed the xorg drivers using the sysinstall utility. I thought all the drivers would be present in my system. I think I am wrong. Should I go to /usr/ports/x11-drivers and do a make install clean? Is it xf86 or a xorg port anyway? Or should I remove xorg using sysinstall before proceeeding? How many doubts!! The error " illegal extended x86 opcode!" keeps on showing. Thanks for your help. |

Samsung syncmaster 933sn xorg.conf
My video card is a s3 savage/IX-MX 6c270-294. The correct driver is in xf86-video-savage.
I installed this driver and when you do X -configure, the resulting xorg.conf.new recognizes my video card and uses the savage driver. But I still have a problem. When I try Xorg -config xorg.conf.new, an error occurs: "Insufficient Videoram available for 3d -- Try a lower depth or smaller desktop." And still another error: " DRI isn't enabled." I do not know how to disable 3d . I am not interested in 3d . Besides my video card has only 8 Mb. Any ideas? |

You probably should load the dri/2 module(s).
Code:
Section "Module" [...] Load "dri" Load "dri2" [...] EndSection Code:
Section "Device" [...] Option "DRI" "TRUE" Driver "S3????" [...] EndSection

The S3's "Savage" family is indeed a different driver, I have a system with a 32MB PCI Savage4 card.
Getting mode-setting to work requires the UseBIOS option to be disabled, this will allow the card to set a mode as indicated by DDC/EDID information from your monitor. So, generate an xorg.conf file using Xorg -configure, copy said file to /etc/{X11,}/xorg.conf and add Option "UseBIOS" "false" to the Device section. Good luck. |

Read the manual page, a list of valid driver options are typically placed into generated xorg.conf files, disabling DRI is an option, but it should be done automatically.. it's not a fatal error.

Samsung syncmaster 933sn xorg.conf
BSDfan666, I tried your suggestions with no luck. The same errors do appear. I know that the error "DRI ins't enabled" is not important. Anyway, I just can get my video card to work.
I can get, after an X -configure and a Xorg -config xorg.conf.new, a fine X screen. But when I copy this file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try with the commnad X ( I type X because when I type startx the system says : Command not found ( I don't know why), I cannot get a valid screen configuration. I will keep trying anyway. Thanks for your help. |

Try
% xinit .
