hi all,
i read the recent thread on configuring XF86 to work with a dell 1800FP, but i'm having slightly different problems with my display, a Dell E171FP. i would appreciate any guidance on the following:
1) the only file generated by xf86config or redhat-config-xfree86 is /etc/X11/XF86Config -- it doesn't ever make an XF86Config-4. does this matter? (i do see a file called [EMAIL PROTECTED], but if i copy that to /etc/X11/XFree86Config-4, startx aborts with a signal 8.)
2) monitor specs are for bit depths of 8, 16 ('high color'), and
32 ('true color'). but i only see 8, 16, and *24* in the configs.
invoking startx with -fbbpp 32 doesn't seem to do anything. is
there a way to determine whether this driver can do 32bpp, or am
i stuck with 16 (24?)? (dell's specs for this display are posted
at http://support.ap.dell.com/docs/monitors/e171fp/en/specs.htm).3) no matter what settings i put in XF86Config (whether editing by hand or through one of the config tools), startx initally puts the monitor in a mode it can't display. ctrl-alt-num_+/- gets me to a mode it can display. if i run redhat-config-xfree86 and do the advanced autoprobing stuff, it correctly recognizes the monitor and the video card (intel 845). but if i accept the autoprobed settings and restart X, it not only goes into the same "can't display this mode" nonsense, but ctrl-alt-num_+/- no longer works. i have to ctrl-alt-backspace and restore the config from /etc/X11/XF86Config.backup.
i've included the relevant bits of XF86Config (the version that appears to be closest to working) and the full output of startx below. any help would be *sincerely* appreciated.
thanks very much in advance,
sasha m. s.a.s.h.a.m.at-sign.s.t.a.n.f.o.r.d.period.e.d.u
