Re: VESA driver hsync config problem

[Ted X Toth <txtoth gmail com>]

Correct x.log (which is a capture of stdout and stderr and not the real 
log file,  Xorg.0.log) was a capture of the failure mode, no HorizSync 
in the config file. I sent that because the GTK error message doesn't 
get written to Xorg.0.log. So the scenario is the server seems to be 
coming up just fine then the GTK error occurs and the server aborts.
The way I originally figured out to add HorizSync to the config file was 
by debugging through the server and seeing a huge obviously invalid 
value for the horizontal sync. What I'm going to do is go back and 
figure out exactly where that value was coming from and hopefully that 
will shed some light on the root of the problem.
