I have my Tecra 720CDT working fine with potato and xfree 3.3.x at 1024x768. I
want to upgrade to woody and xfree 4.x, but I cannot get xfree 4 to work at
more than 800x600. Has anyone sucessfully gotten either a 720CDT or 730CDT to
work with xfree 4.x at more than 800x600? If so, would you share your
XF86Config-4 file with me?
Thanks!
