Thanks for the tip. Evidently I'm being betrayed by the chips themselves: I can't convince the xserver to believe the panel can go any higher than 800x600, and my XF86Config makes no mention of an LCD panel anywhere. I can only assume the driver is clever enough to ask the chip what it's connected to.
Oh well... :) Kind regards, Michael On Mon, Aug 14, 2000 at 07:54:17AM -0700, Serge Rey wrote: > On Mon, Aug 14, 2000 at 09:29:26AM -0400, Michael Hall wrote: > > > I've read everything I can find on the subject, but I'm stuck at 800x600 > > when I'm running X.
