XFree86 3.3.6 supports SMI Lynx
... which will greatly help all of you that have an ASUS L7200/L7300. (Some other laptops have that chipset, too). Looks like this server is accelerated and it seems to detect the display size automatically. I hope to see a Debian package of it soon, although the binary XF86_SVGA from 3.3.6 works just great on XF86 3.3.5:-) If anyone is interested, I can post the XF86Config for the ASUS L7(2|3)00 series laptops. -- Sebastian Schaffert *** * EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * WWW:http://www.wastl.net* * PGP-Public-Key: available on request* ***

I have one and can say that all of the parts that I use (ISDN, modem, ethernet) work (more or less, the linux driver for the ethernet part seems to be a little buggy - sometimes a DHCP server doesn't recognize me, e.g., but in general, i.e. with manually setting the IP address, it works). The ISDN part is just plugged into the card and can be handled like any serial modem (just ATDT does it for me, I didn't even have to look at the documentation). -- Sebastian ***** * Sebastian Schaffert [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * - IT-Beratung +49-171-3177535 * * - Individualsoftware Frühlingstrasse 25 * * - Linux-Lösungen D-83278 Traunstein * * PGP Key fingerprint = 13 1D 2E 4F 20 3E C9 1F 4C 57 52 87 8A 80 48 4D F5 E9 97 EC pgpgTl0fGuCML.pgp Description: PGP signature

Maybe it's because i'm using framebuffers for my console. Would be great if you send me your config.:-) The last version that I tried was the 4.0.2pre that came with debian unstable. I didn't have the time to experiment any further (and risk data loss!) the last few months. BTW: I am using the siliconmotion driver of XFree86 3.3.6 and have frame buffers on console without any problems. -- Sebastian ***** * Sebastian Schaffert [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * - IT-Beratung +49-171-3177535 * * - Individualsoftware Frühlingstrasse 25 * * - Linux-Lösungen D-83278 Traunstein * * PGP Key fingerprint = 13 1D 2E 4F 20 3E C9 1F 4C 57 52 87 8A 80 48 4D F5 E9 97 EC pgppBwaIvxyLS.pgp Description: PGP signature

The problem always occured when the first window was opened (the Gnome splash screen usually or - if I started a plain X server - the xterm).
