Greetings group,
I have been fighting with my laptop
trying to get X 4.3.0 working for some time now and I have about given up, I am
hoping someone on this group has some insight.
I had been running Gentoo Linux on my
laptop for a while, things were good until I decided to try to upgrade X 4.2.x
to 4.3 once I did that X stopped working. I used to have to use the Mach64
driver (ati) with my laptop even though the chip is a Rage 128 mobility chip. In
any event, it worked with 4.2, no longer with 4.3. I even tried going BACK to
4.2 which decided to refuse to work as well.
I recently installed Redhat 9 thinking
perhaps the installer/autoconfigurator would catch something I missed and get it
working, that did not work.
Included is my XFree86.0.log file,
looking through it shows that X correctly detects my video chip AND my display
on my laptop, but when it tries to find a usable mode it has a complaint about
each and every one. I am not sure what exactly is wrong. As a temporary fix
I have it running on the VESA driver, but if possible I would really like to get
it working with the "ati" or "r128" driver, as the acceleration is better.
Thanks in advance, I appreciate any ideas or help
anyone can give me.
Laptop specifics:
Compaq Presario 1800t
P3-650
310MB RAM
40 gig hard drive
ATI rage 128 mobility video chip
(currently) redhat 9 (but I would like to go back
to Gentoo if I can find a solution for X)
If anyone needs any more information I will be
happy to do what I can to provide it.
-Todd
