Description dirk westfal 2004-10-27 08:59:40 UTC

This has been tested on 10 different systems with tft and lcd monitors and 10 
different graphic cards.  
 
X -configure creates a xorg.conf with the following monitor section: 
 
Section "Monitor"  
... 
HorizSync 31.0 - 60.0  
HorizSync 14121.0 - 0.0 
VertRefresh 60.0 - 0.0 
..  
 
The actual values differ, but the zero - values are nearly always there.  
As a result the X server refuses to start.  
 
System: fedora core 2  
 
I found that the old xf86 behaved the same way, so i think this isn`t a 
redhat/fedora problem and needs to be fixed upstream.  
 
Please contact me if more information is needed.  
Thanks a lot !

This was fixed in Xorg 6.8.2.
