Hi-- I'm trying to run the Mandrake Powerpack Edition 8.0 on my laptop, and I can't seem to get the video configured correctly for X. The latest symptom is that prefxdm runs for a while, prints "Press <return> to continue" to stdout, and then exits.
Hardware: Sharp PC-BJ150M (Japanese domestic model), AMD K6-500, 64 MB RAM. Trident CyberBlade i7 AGP (8420-74) video card. Configured for 4MB system memory to be used for video. What I've done so far: Installed 8.0, selecting 800x600 generic LCD display and "Trident CyberBlade (generic)" as my video options. Tried all resolutions/ colordepths with no luck (Screen appears scrambled, if at all). Searched the web and found the same video card was used on the HP Pavilion N3330 Notebook. (ref www-gpsg.mit.edu/~simon/HP_N3330.html) The recommendation there (for Redhat 7.1) was to use XF86_FBDev, so I installed the rpm and edited my XF86Config file as shown in the example. Tried a bunch of different modelines, but nothing seems to work. Thanks for reading this far. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! --Cliff
