Hello List, I'm tring to help some one to "rescue" an old laptop (thinkpad A21p) with 128M ram. So I have installed arch linux inside. Everything went well, until I tried to work with xorg. It seems that X just ignores my settings of resolution and color depth, and even worse, from time to time, it either go all while (the screen) or black and the entire machine get stack (even the sys resque magic does not work). This happens to me only with arch linux's xorg. I have tried it using xubuntu (that had other issues, like malformed drivers of orinoco, but not related to x), and even DSL, and non of them had this type of problem.
I created the xorg.conf using X -configure and even when i changed the support for depth to 1 bit and the resolution to 640x480 (very small for a 15" lcd), it just place 800x600 and 24 bit color. It also display half a screen, the content of X, then it have blank until a point it painting the screen again like it is on origin 0,0. Any ideas what I should look for, and what might cause such issues ?
