Hi,
I've been having problems configuring a Cirrus Logic 5446 even though
your site says it is supported.
That's euphemism. It probably should be changed.
The chipset is supported because the driver knows about it and
should theoretically be able to drive it. That's what supported
means.
However the driver isn't supported. It means: you get it as is.
If it works - fine. If it doesn't - tough luck.
Nobody who would be able and willing to support this driver has
the hardware you are talking about. Nobody who has the hardware
is willing or able to support it.
Since this is open source you are invited to fix the driver yourself.
I'm using a Gateway 2000 with 64 MB and a Pentium 120
I tried first with Linux Mandrake 9.1 and now I'm trying with FreeBSD
4.8. I've used every combination of resolution with 8, 15, 16 and 32
color depth.
I used Option noaccel and Option no_bitblt and the main problem
persists: the screen shows in triple a litle piece at top and a litle
piece at bottom and almost the whole screen at center. It also shows
three pointer mouse.
The monitor I'm using is an AcerView 34T.
Where can I see a configuration file that works fine?
Probably none? Because the driver is broken.
In linux mandrake I could try with Xfree86 3.3.6 and 4.3 and used
XFdrake program.
Yes, that's possible. In those days this driver was supported.
Egbert.
Well I could run XFree86 3.3.6 with the last port on FreeBSD 4.8
Now how can I tell it to use a spanish keyboard?
When I configured via xf86config there was not a spanish keyboard option.
Thanks for your help.
