Newbie struggling with 6990 rig

[upiru]

Hi there I'm Upiru, I'm a newbie so I feel comfy here

but still as a newbie I think I need some help ... 

so basicly I try to set up the all mighty 3x6990 with ubuntu
but can't go beyond the ATI drivers install, witch I guess whent quiet fine

Then, as I don't have any HD screen (got a DVI to VGA plug instead), I found my self with a scramble view of my desktop ...
...and I don't want to buy a screen as I want to remote desktop the monster ...

So I thought I could just rewrite my xorg.cong to send a more suitable signal to my old screen
here what I wrote :

Code:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	DefaultDepth	16
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth	16
		modes	"1024x768_75.00"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load	"glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Default Device"
	Driver	"fglrx"
EndSection

and it just crashs X .... hehehe ...I guess it would have been too easy ... 

soooo  any one could help me write a better xorg.conf please ?
 or show me what ever other way ...  any idea ..

thx

hum ..I just tried this :

Code:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth 	24
		modes	"800x600_61.00"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

"800x600_61.00" is what my screen support ...hehehe  sorry

X don't crashs but I still get scramble view ... maybe the Depth ...
I gonna try the with depth at 16

I don't really know what I'm doing here ... 

[upiru]

well seams that the depth at 16 crashes X ...

but then, I might be wrong, I guess the depth at 24 scrambles the view ...

[upiru]

off course I tried VNC , before the issue I could get through
Now I just get prompted for the password and nothing loads ... not even an error message ...

(VNC viewer on windows xp )

any sugestions ? any idea ? getting nuts here ... 

[upiru]

ok I called a friend who knows !

"just remove xorg.conf and reboot" he said.

well thx to him I got through this issue

I hope this 'll be usefull to someone.

cheeers
