I seem to be having exactly to oposite problem to you. I have an ATI RAGE
LT Pro card, running at 1024x768 and the LILO vga option is set to
somthing like 792 (cant remember exactly off the top of my head) 1024 anyway.
Anyway when I boot the machine into X, the display is totaly corrupt, there
are 3 or 4 large blue vertical lines, against a black background. Playing with
XF86config only seems to change the position/number of lines.
After spending a day or so fiddling with config files, I found that if I
suspend the box, (shut the lid or magic key combo) when it wakes up
the screen has sorted its self out. The only drawback of this, is
that sometimes when it awakes from suspend, it is really sluggish
starting gmome etc, but I seem to remember reading something
about unmounting pcmcia cards before a suspend???
If anyone else is having trouble with the ATI RAGE LT Pro chipset,
then I found that there is a Dell, that uses the same chipset, so
all I had to do was set the VGA option in LILO and use the guys
XF86Config file.
Also, I'm trying to get GL and the Messa stuff to work, (so I can run
xtraceroute), but it doesnt like the libtiff that comes with RH6.0.
Anyone with any experence of this on a laptop ???
Finally, thanks for reading this far, and as a reward, here is an
ob hack that might be usefull.
To clean those anoying little bits of fluff from your tfts', simply
drag a post-it note accross the screen, sticky side down. Eh volia!
All the fluff sticks to the post-it. Also works on touch pads.
