Hi all,
I'm trying to get Redhat 6.1 installed on my new company laptop and I'm having
problems with getting X up and running correctly. The OS install wen't fine (I used
the text based option), but I can't get X to work at a useable resolution. Running
Xconfigurator it appears to detect the chip set "correctly" as a Neomagic 256ZX, and
goes through all the rest of it's stuff fine, but when it comes to test it, and in
fact any time it comes to run X (startx at the CLI, for e.g.) it starts up but then
appears to switch down to a very low resolution, 320x240 by the look of it, _and_ it
does this by just showing the center of the frame, as if I was running a large virtual
desktop through a small viewport, but without the ability to scroll!
I know this chipset isn't fully supported by XFree86 yet, but it _is_ possible to get
the display running in 640x480, I know, because XF86Setup does this, but then fails to
generate a working config file.
Does anybody know what the "generic" CF86Config is that XF86Setup uses, I can get by
for now by just copying that into place and seting up the server links by hand.
Yours,
Ian.
