Hi, First I'd like to thank Jens for his patient answer to my last question :)
I managed to successfully build a recent (23/10/2002) build of the X CVS tree and see great improvements on the support of my chipset (well, looking at the XFree86.0.log at least). This posting cuts 2 ways: My XFree86.0.log is included for developers as reference material. I hope it helps ;) Second: Can anybody comment on my questions? The size of my screen is now correctly recognised (1400x1050) but alas, the driver still resorts to the known VESA resolutions (1280 x 1024). Is that the long list of modes I see coming by now? What do the asterisks mean for some of the found modes? Is the line "Not using mode "1400x1050" (no mode of this name)" based on the fact that no mode called "1400x1050" passes by during the mode probing part? Or is it something I can help in the Configuration file? I read somewhere that if linux boots in a different mode than what I want to drive it under X, modelines are required in the XFConfig file? The monitor I choose (generic 1400x1050) does not add modelines in the XFConfig file... Regards, Martin van Es This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way.
