On my Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop (15.4") I've Samsung LTN154E1-L01 LCD
(1280x1024) and ATIMobilityP 8MB . With installer autoconfigure (also on
RH7.0...;o) I've problem in starting X.....
I noted that XFree4.0.1 probing correctly identify LCD, than my easy solution
is :
# In Monitor section I create an entry as :
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic|Generic LCD Panel 1280x1024"
VendorName "Generic"
ModelName ""
# Not used because XFree4.0.1 probing is enough ...;o)
# HorizSync xx-xx
# VertRefresh xx-xx
EndSection
# In Graphics device section I uncomment "VideoRam 8128"
# may be not necessary, but uncommented it works....
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Rage Mobility"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "ati"
VideoRam 8128
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
# In Screen sections (I use and I try only Depth 16):
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "ATI Rage Mobility"
Monitor "Generic|Generic LCD Panel 1280x1024"
DefaultColorDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
