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.
