Ok, since I've just recently gotten a computer that can run X
I'm still a newbie on how it works.
I want to start up in 800x600x256 mode. SVGALIB has no problem
doing this. I can't figure out how to get X to do it. X keeps
starting in 640x480.
This is for a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5434 with 1Meg Ram.
It seemd from the messages during startup, that there isn't
an 800x600 mode defined but there is a modeline for it.
Also, in the Modeline section in my XF86Config file, could
i delete all but the modelines for: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768?
it seems like alot defined for things i'll never use.
Below are the messages i get when starting X and the contents
of my XF86Config file. Any help would be great.
