<P>I think that the Xinside policy of not giving you an utility to tweak
|
|
your video modes ( like xvidtune ) and/or to import your existing XFree
|
|
ones in the evaluation ( and AFAIK commercial ) version is
|
|
incomprehensible. I've spent about three hours putting this together (
|
|
hint: I've compared the VESA 1024x768@70Hz entry in the two formats (
|
|
and I'm nearly an electronic engineer ;-)) while an Xinside programmer
|
|
could have written a comparable article in a fraction of this time...
|
|
<P>I haven't downloaded any evaluation version from 1.3 onwards and I
|
|
really hope they have fixed this. Well, if they have, this mini-HOWTO
|
|
could be considered useless but, alas, if you read it you will learn
|
|
something more about how everything works...
