An *horrible* suggestion... usually RH 7.x installs both 4.x.x and 3.3.6 In case it did for you have you tried using 3.3.6? two possibilities: 1. for config I believe you can use a parameter (-prefer3 or something like that try man your config prog) 2. backup your /etc/X11/X by renaming it X4 for instance and recreate X as a symlink to an *appropriate* 3.3.6 server (at worse the *universal* XF86_SVGA (it should also be in /usr/X11R6/bin at worst use locate...) then /etc/X11/XF86Config will be the file to hack
An interesting place to look would also be http://www.linux-laptop.net/ good luck Lionel --- Guillaume Proux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Living in Japan, I have received a quite old PC to install Linux on and > although the installation went flawlessly even in graphical mode with a > RedHat 7.2 JP, I did not manage to get a graphical mode running after > install. > > The PC is a Hitachi Flora Model PCT-310T16E. > The monitor is INTEGRATED into the PC and I used read-edid but > cannot get any information about the monitor this way although > i found out in the log left by the X server that it finds a native lcd > panel. > > The symptoms: > - did not manage to get ANY mode but 24bit running and even 24bit has > trouble > - the 8 and 16 bit mode fail miserably and all I have on screen are > repeated band of pixels that more or less reproduce the first 200 columns > for 8 bits and 400 colums for 16 bits.... > - A picture taken with a digital camera show what happens even in 24 bits: > the picture although stable vertically smears horizontally.
