Apologies for posting a newbie question, but I am having problems starting X on a sony vaio fx705 laptop (european model identical to a fxa59) running Mandrake 8.2, and XFree86 4.2.0. When I run 'startx' I get a speckled grey screen with a red box in the upper left corner of the screen. I have modified lilo.conf to pass 'vga=788' to the kernel (2.4.18 patched and rebuilt with the acpi patch) as this seemed to work for others running redhat 7.3, but not for me. I have also commented out all modelines to use 'Native Panel Mode'. Other details, 1400x1050 15" SXGA, ATI 3D rage mobility m1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is my XF86Config-4 and XFree86.0.log.
Thanks Russell. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Everything you'll ever need on one web page from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my.yahoo.com
