like a lot of other people here, i'm trying to get X to work on my laptop. in my case, i've got a compaq presario 1600 xl. i installed RH 5 (old, i know) from a CD. i went thru the xf86config process, but i don't know the answers to some of the questions it asked. in the end, when i tried to run X, i got error messages saying : ``... (--) SVGA: PCI: Trident Unknown chipset (0x0520) rev 106, Memory @ 0xf5000000, 0xf4100000 (--) Trident chipset version: 0xf3 (TGUI9430DGI) (--) SVGA: Revision 106.

Fatal server error: No valid modes found. ...'' so my first question is, "what do i need to do to correct this"? second, is there any web site that has the kind of detailed chip info that i apparently need (for the presario 1600 xl), to get linux working ? thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
