I'm trying to get X working on a DECpos2 (point of sale PC device) running
Slackware 9.1. Previously I got it working using Slackware 7.1 and its
version of XFree86. On that one I had to configure it as a generic VGA
device because I'd read that the NM2070 driver doesn't handle that device's
external CRT feed, which is what the DECpos2 uses (it's not a laptop).
Now I'm trying to to the same with XFree86 Version 4.3.0 but it seems
determined to autodetect the video chip as a PCI device. The screen simply
goes blank until I reboot the system.
If your 2070 is an ISA card you should use
BusID ISA
in the device section of your XF86Config.
If you need a higher resolution/depth than [EMAIL PROTECTED] you
may want to try the neomagic driver. Please note that probably
noone who has ever worked on the driver for this chip has
seen an ISA NM2070, therefore your milage may vary.
