I also have a Dell CPi (R400GT) with the Neomagic 256 chipset. I have read
all the X docs and everyone says that it is a fairly easy chipset to get X
setup on.
However, no matter how much tinkering I do with the config file (XF86Config)
whether it be manual, with xf86config/XF86Setup/Xconfigurator I still cannot
get it to work.
I am using RH6.1 and would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right
direction (or if you have a working XF86Config, could I get a sneak peek at
it to guide me?)
TIA
Adam

Subject: Dell with docking station
I have a Dell Latitude CPi with a docking station (C/Port II). My redhat
6.1 kernel sees the docking station's nic okay, the keyboard and mouse seem
to function okay (thanks to the bios), however...
1) Even though I have added support for my Neomagic256 sound card
(integrated in the laptop) it still does not work. (unrelated to the
docking station problem)
2) My external monitor (plugged into the docking station) does not work
(video signal is cut off) when I start X. If I abort X and go back to text
mode (CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE), the screen comes back. The LCD screen does work
okay when not docked. I've tried uncommenting the "internal" and
"external" display options to the Neomagic video card in my XF86Config, but
no luck.
HELP!
TIA,
Jim
