Hello, I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I've been using XFree86 3.3.6 on my Sony Vaio PCG-FXA59 (FX705 in europe) for about 5 months now and after a harddrive crash am back restoring the whole machine. This laptop has what purports to be a ATI 3D Rage Mobility-M1 graphics chip in it. It's supposed to be able to do 1400x1050. I was able to do this resolution at 16bpp with 3.3.6 but it was slow as mud when moving windows, etc. I just installed FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE today and along with that came XFree86 4.2.1. Dmesg from the OS is here: http://dub.net/vaio/dmesg Running "XFree86 -configure" renders this file: http://dub.net/vaio/XF86Config-4.2.1 Running "XFree86 -xf86config path/to/XF86Config-4.2.1" creates this madness on the screen: http://dub.net/vaio/screen.jpg Here's the 3.3.6 config that actually sorta worked: http://dub.net/vaio/XF86Config-3.3.6 As a side note before composing this email I checked out xf-4_2_99_3 and tried to build it but the build died all three times I tried. The world.log has crazy binary output at the bottom of it. Anyone that wants to look at that can find it here: http://dub.net/vaio/world.log.gz I'm going to attempt to build the newly tagged 4.2.99.4 and I'll repost if I have any luck with that. If anyone can help me resolve this problem I'll gladly send you a bottle of your favorite poison or a reborn DEC Alpha Multia. :) -Bill -- -=| Bill Swingle - <unfurl@(dub.net|freebsd.org)> -=| Every message PGP signed -=| Fingerprint: C1E3 49D1 EFC9 3EE0 EA6E 6414 5200 1C95 8E09 0223 -=| "Computers are useless.
