When you reposted this you lost the subject line, which was the only place you gave your equipment configuration, "ATI Rage Mobility M1 on Dell Inspiron 3800". That's a laptop with a flat panel display, isn't it? I didn't respond earlier because I have no experience with flat panel displays, and I didn't find anything in a quick look at http://www.xfree86.org/. You say you "tried several times", but you don't say what you tried. Did you try "XFree86 -configure"? You did install it with Xinstall.sh, didn't you? Why did you choose 4.1.0 rather than 4.2.0? Anybody else out there: Is there some good general information resource on configuring XFree86 for a flat panel as opposed to a vacuum tube display? -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
