Hoping this can help (I've no time for more tests, I try only this with
XFree4.0.1, and this for me works ok(on cooker and also on rh7.0) ...;o)
On my Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop (15.4") I've Samsung LTN154E1-L01 LCD
(1280x1024) and ATIMobilityP 8MB . With installer autoconfigure (also on
RH7.0...;o) I've problem in starting X.....
I noted that XFree4.0.1 probing correctly identify LCD, than my easy solution
is :
# In Monitor section I create an entry as :
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic|Generic LCD Panel 1280x1024"
VendorName "Generic"
ModelName ""
# Not used because XFree4.0.1 probing is enough ...;o)
# HorizSync xx-xx
# VertRefresh xx-xx
EndSection
# In Graphics device section I uncomment "VideoRam 8128"
# may be not necessary, but uncommented it works....
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Rage Mobility"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "ati"
VideoRam 8128
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
# In Screen sections (I use and I try only Depth 16):
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "ATI Rage Mobility"
Monitor "Generic|Generic LCD Panel 1280x1024"
DefaultColorDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
This works ok for me with XFree4.0.1 (also good work with mouses, now I've no
problem during install with ps2 Logitech Cordless Wheel Mouse on my laptop
and Ms Intellimouse on smp...;o)
Notes:
I've not try 20001003 00:24 images but before (20001002 images...) reappears
that when I choose grub ... I found lilo ... also a strange thing (I've still
installed some old kernels and hackkernels):
I found wrong initrd entries (in lilo.conf and menu.lst)(also on laptop where
I not need initrd...) strange mix that I manually remove (after little fear
during boot error messages...;o) like :
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-11mdk
with
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.0-0.21mdk.img
cu and good work....;o)
