RE: Laptop troubles
You didnt tell what monitor you've configured. try : Section "Monitor" Identifier"LCD Panel 1024x768" (or "LCD Panel 800x600") VendorName "UnKnown" ModelName "Unknown" why not to use XF86Setup ? laptop tips: do : 'man -k pcmcia' - lots of commands, do man and read. for further questions dont hesitate to contact private. -Original Message- From: mulix [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: ? ?? 26 2000 21:57 To: Linux-Il Mailing List Subject: Laptop troubles Hi Everyone, I have some laptop problems here, and would very much appreciate any help. I have a new Chicony laptop. I've managed to install RedHat 6.0, however X refuses to start. I downloaded the latest X, which supposedly supports the graphics card (a Silicon Motion LynxEM SMI 711) but couldn't get it to work. I tried both using the new frame buffer device and "standard" x, but neither seem to work. What would really make my day is the /etc/XF86Config from someone with this (or similar) laptop model.

Re: Laptop troubles
Well, let me try to help here (although I don't have Chicony Laptop) Grab the latest X server (SVGA) and XConfigurator from the PIGLET (Redhat 6.2 beta) - this should solve your problem. Oh, in Redhat XF86Config sits on /etc/X11/ - not /etc/ Hetz mulix wrote: Hi Everyone, I have some laptop problems here, and would very much appreciate any help. I have a new Chicony laptop.
