RE: [Newbie]i830 support for Dell C400 (vesa)

[Frank W Miller]

Thanks for the reply.  I have my XF86Config-4 file set this way.  I've
included that file and the XFree86.0.log file generated when I startup
for your dining and dancing pleasure...

The interesting thing about the log file is the two lines that come
after the list of VESA modes.  They look like this:

(--) VESA(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 640)
(**) VESA(0): Default mode "(null)"

This second line leads me to believe there is some way to tell the VESA
driver what resolution I want but how to do this eludes me...

Thanks in advance for help,
FM

inline if anybody needs it...
