I am hoping someone here has run into this issue with the sm750fb driver module
that is used on a Silicon Motion 750 video controller. The auto configure for
the XServer fails to produce a configuration that is usable by the system.
Therefore, I am trying to produce a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that will work
instead. My current xorg.conf attempt and the output from the XServer is shown
below. FYI, I can produce a xorg.conf file that works on version 1.20.6 of the
XServer using Red Hat 8.2.
Thanks In Advance for any Help.
Regards,
Joe
