Hi,

I have an HP laptop that comes with the cyberblade XP video card and a
1400x1050 LCD display....And I have a few issues.

 The primary one is that I can't get X to work with the trident
driver....tried many times, Xfreee 3.x 4.1, 4.2 , many XF86Config-4
settings, modes, chipsets, and no luck...The closest I got to getting it to
work was with XFree 4.1 using  the CyberBaldeXP chipset (not XPm)...which
gave me small narrow strips of X repeating accross my sceen...everything
else just results in a dark screen with a few sharp narrrow lines going
horizontally!


After lots of tries and reading, I finally got some X funtionality using the
VESA driver...(which I guess is like a
framebuffer "fbdev")....However, I can't get the full pixels my monitor
supports...I can only get 1200x1024. does anyone know of how to raise that
to 1400x1050?


Another side issue that I am running into is that I can only run X as ROOT!
anytime a user without su privilages tries to startx, the gnome desktop
launches, things load, but right before the desktop appears, it dies...I get
a message
Caguht Signal 4  in the X log files! (I installed Redhat 7.2)....I guess its
somehting weird with the permissions...desktop items may not have read
access? anyone run into this issue?



Saul.
