i recall several threads here about getting xfree86 working on lombard, the reassuring answer it that it does! and with acceleration ( if you are looking for a challenge. . see http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/ for the relevant dri-mach64 packages) to begin with, the video chip is ati mach64, so the relevant bits of your xfree86 config should look something like Section "Monitor" Identifier "Lombard LCD" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 31.5-57.0 VertRefresh 50-70 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Lombard ATI" Driver "ati" ChipSet "mach64" BusID "PCI:0:17:0" Option "DMAMode" "mmio" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Lombard ATI" Monitor "Lombard LCD" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection > I've never used X before - This is my first time using Linux as a desktop. > I've only used it in a server environment in the past. > > I've researched the video spec's at apple.com > (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43120) and by searching > Google but wasn't able to find much of the information that the > dpkg-reconfigure script (`dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86`) is asking for. > e.g., Driver, sync/refresh rates, mouse type, keyboard type, etc. > > I recall reading somewhere that the Lombard uses an ATI driver but can not > find much else.
