You seem to have a rather modest system:
(==) VGA(0): videoRam: 256 kBytes.
if not just give the correct amount of videoRam...

Have you tried
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
in the input device section for your mouse?

Hello to you all,
I got a little problem. My OS is a Debian 3.0,

Usually, laptops *like* best the resolution they have been designed for, any other
resolution is
going to be obtained by interpolation and will not yield a good image...
Whether this is the ground for your problem, I don't know. However 60Hz refresh is
usually the
right value for most laptops...
1. have you tried putting only 800x600 on the modes line?
2. have you tried depth 16 or 24?
3. are you using the + - from the numeric pad when you are trying to switch resolution
(you
must...)

Hi,
I am running:

I suspect you have to go into the BIOS setup and disable the onboard VGA unless you
want to run
with two screens...

Are you starting X with startx?
I find it strange that XF86_S3 would run an X 4.2 server!
Anyone on the list has any idea?

See the archives of this list:It seems that linux resp. X uses ALL memory available in
order to
optimise resource utilisation (the idea being that available RAM should not remain
unused)
At least this is what I have understood, anyone knowing better correct me...

your XF86Config would be helpful to find out why Xconfigurator selected this
frequency...
By the way, have you tried the other configuration programs There are two or three: X
-configure
or xf86cfg etc.
just save your XF86Config and try...

You are running X 4.2 and not 3.3.6,
If you check the Supported software:
http://www.xfree86.org/
Support, Documentation and Resources
XFree86 video drivers support status
S3
You will find the restrictions as to the support (I would assume your card is
supported in 4.2)
You might want to
snip
If I'm not mistaken, Xconfigurator writes a 3 series config file
/snip
first time I hear that, in my case Xconfigurator generated both XF86Config and
XF86Config-4
