Are there any other Display Subsections in that Screen Section? In the
manpage, it says that "if [the Virtual] entry is not present, the
virtual screen resolution will be set to accommodate all the valid video
modes given in the Modes entry." If the virtual resolution is greater
than the resolution in the Modes entry, then you get a display that is
larger than the screen. The ViewPort entry just gives where on that
larger display you first see, 0 0 being the upper left corner.

What happens if you put the line "Virtual 800 600" into your XF86Config,
so that you would have (using the information from a previous post of
yours):

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen1"
   Device "Trident Cyber9525"
   Monitor"3110CT Display"
   Default 16

   Subsection "Display"
  Depth   8
  Modes  "640x480"
  Virtual 800 600
  Viewport 0 0
   End Subsection
   
   Subsection "Display"
  Depth   16
  Modes  "800x600"
  Virtual 800 600
  Viewport 0 0
   End Subsection

Re: XFree86 - startx

2002-07-17 Thread Dom Leon 
I was able to get XFree86 started, but the display is
larger than the screen. My XF86Config reads the
DefaultDisplay at 16 and the Display Mode is "800x600"
which I know this laptop display does support.

Im I missing something? According to the XFree86
documentation this seems to be the only place in the
XF86Config where any sort of dimensions ae written. Im
using teh appropriate video device driver for the
correct video driver.

Any ideas?

Re: XFree86 - startx

2002-07-16 Thread Dom Leon 
It turned out to be the wrong driver which xf86config
placed in the XF86Config file. It wrote 'vga' while it
should have been a 'trident' driver.

Now that I have XFree86 running does anyone know why
the 800x600 is not workting properly? The only section
where the video resolution is entered in the
XF86Config file is in the "Screen1" section:

Section "Screen"
   Indentifier"Screen1"
   Device "Trident Cyber9525"
   Monitor"3110CT Display"
   Default 16

   Subsection "Display"
  Depth   8
  Modes  "640x480"
  ViewPort 0 0
   EndSubsection
   Subsection "Display"
  Depth 16
  Modes "800x600"
  ViewPort 0 0
   EndSubsection

According to the video driver specs the highest res
for this laptop is 800x600 therefore the Default at 16
is ok. xf86config wrote in the ViewPort entry. Im not
sure what's that for.

The display does appear without any apparent errors.
There are three xterm windows which appear by default
(I dunno where they got configured). The window's
title bar is an ugly color teal-green =) and an xclock
at the upper-right handside. Colors I can deal with
(eventually), but the problem is that the xterm
windows go past the screen (both above and below). If
this window-size restriction should have been set
using the X86Config why are the windows past the
screen?

The X86Free documentation is not clear on this. Any
help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!

'no screens found' means that X is not properly configured.
You have to provide the list with the proper information before
asking...:-)
* Tell us what you installed: Potato, Woody? There is a difference
between the versions of X  in these two and how you configure it.

Have checked the http://linux-laptop.net if there is a Debian + Toshiba
3110ct installation description there?

Cheers,
HÖ
