Hi,

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280 with the above video chipset. I had no
worries (once I found out how to) getting this working under Mdk 7.1 via the
XF86_FBdev server, the machine booted to the 1024x768 display at boot and all
worked well.

Now, with 7.2, I can't get better than 640x480.  The install fails (breaks &
refuses to complete with the error 'Can't call method "set_active" on an
undefined value' if I try to configure the frame buffer server at install. If I
manually configure it later, the best I can get is 640x480.

Even copying the XF86Config from the working 7.1 install only gives me 640x480

7.1 install used to ask if I wanted to detect PCI devices and I could say no
there, and specify it manually, but 7.2 doesn't give me that option, it simply
asks for monitor and resolution, then tells me that won't work and lets me
choose then. But if I choose the FBdev server (as per 7.1), specify the laptop
1024x768 panel and hit test, it refuses to test without me specifying a
resolution (7.1 used to just save this setup and continue without testing) and
when I click resolution, it produces the above error.

Help please!  I really like the look of 7.2 and would love to have it full
screen!
