Re: [gNewSense-users] Panasonic TC-P50G20 vga display

[Marc]

Yes, I am using Delta-H, the latest gNewSense release.

I got it working.  
I had to Ctl-Alt-F2 over to the text terminal, run gtf (I used $gtf 1024 786 
75) to get the Modeline info.  Then edit  
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Rebooted...and it came up fine...had to change the refresh rate to 75Hz in 
Screen Resolution from 85Hz, but everything holds even after reboot.
