I have a Dell Latitude C800 running OpenBSD 2.9 (CD) with an ATI Mobility
M4 video card. I can't get Xfree to run, either 3.3.6 or 4.0.1 (both of
which come with OpenBSD 2.9). I see from the archives that this chip has
worked for others, although it's not specifically mentioned in the
hardware compatibility list at www.xfree86.org.
Ominously, when I try to run xf86cfg, the screen just blanks, and I have
to use ctl-alt-backspace to get out of it.
dmesg has this:
vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4d46 rev
0x00
wsdisplay0 at vga1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsdiaplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0
My superprobe gives this:
First Video: Super-VGA
chipset: ATI (chipset unknown) (port probed)
signature data: 3f3f0000 (please report)
Memory: 0 bytes
RAMDAC: Generic 8 bit psuedo-color DAC
(with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))
This is a dualboot with Win2K, which tells me that I'm running high color
(16 bit) 1400 x 1050, 60hz, Ati Mobility M4 adapter, chip: M4 AGP4x, DAC -
internal (250 Mhz) with 16Megs of memory. And using the ati2dvai.dll
driver.
I have tried multiple setups, using the three config tools (XF86Setup,
xf86cfg and xf86config) and can get nothing to work. I'd send errors and
the like, but I've tried too many different configurations.
So, does anyone have an XF86Config file for a Dell Latitude C800 that they
would like to send me? Or does anyone have any ideas? I haven't futzed
with the kernel yet.
Thanks,
-Karen
