Has anybody responded to your question yet? Have you specified the correct horizontal and veritical refresh rates in your XF86Config file? I've had Xfree running quite nicely with a no-name video card with 4 megs of ram, so you should be able to. Maybe you need to find out more about your on-board video card... try googling your motherboard for more info. In the meantime, have you tried specifying specific info in your XF86Config file? like: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection Try different depths... 8, 16, 24 Modes: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 Good luck! -gerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
XF86Config problem
hi... problem with XF86Config. i did the configuration a few times. and tried different versions of the file... i get: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have usable configuration. fatal error: no screens found... this is on an old amd machine with 4.10 on it and the video "card" is generic on the motherboard itself. the motherboard is K7SEM and with a simple VGA connector... thanks -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thanks to haaving used SuSE in 2000, its probe got the initial video card stuff and an XF86Config listing:: VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC" VideoRam4096 According to the E-Machine's people, the built-in vidio chip can run at 1280x1024; I never tried it higher that 1024x768. It's a 500MHz P-II with 70GB disc, 256MB memory, and some cheesy sound card. E-Machines is pretty well known so I prob'ly don't have to exlain anything there. We (an EE buddy) put in two new fans and a new PS; I figure it's good for ahnother 4 or 5 years. I'd just like to have a working X config file. Right now, "startx" works; but "xdm" bring up a bare-bones mono-chrome window, and after I type in my name/passwd, xdm quits and repawns. The /etc/X11/ directory has several misc files that might be interfering with xdm, but I don't understand how. (I don't find anything interesting in /tmp/.*) I can use the box via my KVM switch, but intend to use this for further driver testing and so want the xdm "xlogin" to work.

OLD e-machines box and XF86Config
Folks,
Does anybody onlist have a working XF86Config for an
old year 2000 emachine 500ix? It's been close to two
years since X has been working correctly on his old system.
I just upgraded it to a full 256M of SDRAM and added a
huge drive. Now am getting ready toput 5.3 on there.
xf86config, the shell version, didn't work, and it looks
like I messed up on the GUI config.
Assistance much appreciated.
thanks,
gary
PS: oh yeah, any opinions on xorg vs xfree86 welcome, too.

RE: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop
Thanks Kevin! One of my problems was the listing for the savage driver and chipset were not working well together. Using the text version of the configuration program took the chipset line out when I selected the generic Savage driver. That fixed it! Thanks so much for your help!

But I could be wrong; can't remember ever trying X with the "savage" driver. Have you tried the "vesa" driver? Might do something for ya... Secondly, your Horizontal sync range isn't a range. Perhaps opening that up a bit would allow you to try it out. Certainly there could be other issues as well. I mentioned permissions above, for one. If you have the above in /etc/X11R6/XF86Config, if you run "startx" you should get either a server running or some error output in /var/log that might help...OTOH, I've never set up X on any laptop; I don't know if it's unsafe to try with a relatively untested config file.

RE: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop
Robert, Thanks so much! You're right, I mixed the numbers up! It's a 4260dvd. Anyway, I got X up and running. It took a lot of trial and error. The problem was 2 fold. First, there's a bug in sysinstall. I was getting a "fail" error message every time because sysinstall was looking for the new XF86Config file somewhere in the /etc folder. However, the new file was being written and put in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 folder. If everything had been put in the file correctly then all I needed to do was type "startx". However, that's where my second problem occurred. I noticed that when I changed settings for setting up X in the graphical interface for configuring X, some of the lines would not be overwritten. So, I would get a line like: Driver 'vga' Chipset 'savage IX' and vise versa. When I used the text version of the configuration program, it seemed to rewrite the whole file with consistent data. Anyway, I was finally able to get it up and running - thanks to a few encouraging words for the mailing list. Thanks so much for responding!

(although it does give me refresh rates for an external monitor - 60/75/85 @16M colors). Is there a place I can go to find this information? Well, this is pretty common. Many desktop monitors don't give such information, either, and you either Google for it or guess, usually. What happens if you call "startx", or have you? 2) Are there other obvious reasons the configuration would fail other than the monitor? The most obvious one I can think of is that, IIRC, the driver for the Savage chipsets is "savage", not "s3". But I could be wrong; can't remember ever trying X with the "savage" driver. Have you tried the "vesa" driver? Might do something for ya... Secondly, your Horizontal sync range isn't a range. Perhaps opening that up a bit would allow you to try it out. Certainly there could be other issues as well. I mentioned permissions above, for one. If you have the above in /etc/X11R6/XF86Config, if you run "startx" you should get either a server running or some error output in /var/log that might help...OTOH, I've never set up X on any laptop; I don't know if it's unsafe to try with a relatively untested config file. But the values look sane enough for a CRT display ... 3) Are there any sites I can visit for more info? XFree's site at xfree86.org; the FreeBSD handbook at www.freebsd.org/handbook come to mind. Thanks so much! You are welcome. Vaughan Moore Also, did I post this to the right list? If not, please let me know where it should go. Works for me.

Re: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop
Hello there, i have the same problem with an older Toshiba Satellite version (4090 CDS). I ignore the error, just like you said, i go to install a windows manager, i choose GNOME, press enter to install but it does nothing, same thing happens with any manager i choose. Since it was a fresh instalation of 5.2.1 i started again (i thought i misseg someting) and after install base system i choose to install GNOME and KDE ... and after install ... the X server failed like the previous attempts with the error just like Vaughan Moore's. I mention that Slackware 10.0 with Gnome 2.6 runs smoothly. Cristi.

XF86Config for MSI KM4M-L motherboard
Has anyone successfully configured X for the MSI KM4M-L?
In a posting to this list in Feb, Warren Block says he got a KM4M(no -L) to
work with the "savage" driver. But when I try his "Device" section, I
always get "No device found". I've tried all the possible 'BusID
"PCI:X:Y:Z"' possibilities, all yielding the same result. Thank you to
Warren, all the same.
XF86Cfg thinks the VGA chip is VESA compatible. When I try the vesa driver,
it seems to get quite a ways toward the goal (it reads the data out of the
monitor, including a list of modes, most of which are in the "modes" lines
in the "Screen" section of XF86Config). But not matter how much I tweak the
"Device" data, the driver always fails to find a useable screen ("Screens
found, but none with a useable configuration." or similar.)
Any help much appreciated.

Isthe i810 driver limited to this? I've used the auto-generated template from XFree with several mods. I'm stuck at 1024x768 and using a tube that can do much higher. Would be much obliged if somebody would send an i810/i815 configuration file ...

Since I have and Intel-815 chipset, is XFree86 the right thing is have linked as X? 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel7 Feb 9 16:11 X -> XFree86 992 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 999640 Nov 9 2000 XF86Setup 3408 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3478246 Nov 9 2000 XF86_SVGA 2008 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2047435 Nov 9 2000 XF86_VGA16 1520 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1543284 Feb 9 16:11 XFree86 xvidtune dies with: Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":0.0".

I just booted a laptop that I intend to ru FreeBSD on in Knoppix, and as you said, perfecy X setup. However, since It's booting from the CD, where would I find the X config file? Do I need to isntall Knoppix to have access to this file? If so, how do I do thta, since so far I've only figured out how to _boot_ from thier CD, not install :-) -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Re: XF86Config.
Hello Peter, Your modeline is far to fast, Try the one which has a 48Mhz bandwidth. (Look in the lint). Most smaller and older monitors just need low refresh. Find the modeline for 1024x768 and 60Hz refresh.
