Hi all,

I've been having trouble getting X to work on my Dell Latitude C400
which uses the Intel i830 chipset.  I want to run in 1024x768x24 mode
but can't seem to get higher than 640x480x8.  I haven't built X before
so I've been trying to avoid that if I can.  Apparently some people have
had luck with the vesa driver but I've had some trouble with it.  After
some discussions on the newbie list, I am still in need so I thought I
would come to the Xpert list.  I've included my XF86Config-4 file and
the log that is dumped during startup to a successful 640x480
resolution.  If this isn't possible, I'll go build the -current code and
try to get the i830 support in there going but I'd like to spend a bit
of time getting this to go.

Hi again,

I managed to get the VESA driver to startup on the C400.  Trouble is, it
will only startup in 640x480 mode.  When I look at the startup log, it
appears to be probing lots of different modes, including a couple of
1024x768 modes, which is what my LCD supports.  Is there a way to force
the VESA driver to come up using a particular mode?  It looks like its
picking up the 640x480 due to a default hardware probe.

Thanks,
FM
