Hi to everybody, I installed XFree86 (Vers. 4.2.0) together with Suse Linux 7.2 on my Laptop which is a Movita Fuego 215. I cannot get the xserver to run correctly e.g. I cannot see anything on my display.
My laptop is equipped with a Silicon-motion Lynx3D graphic adapter (SM820) on a 14" TFT display. I generated the config-file with "XFree86 -configure" and had a look at the resulting file. For my understanding the config-file is ok. I copied the new configuration-file from my home-directory to /etc/X11, under the name "XF86Config". When I start the X-Server with "XFree86 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config" , I end up (sometimes) with a total black screen ; in the background something is still working (indicated by disk-access) but the key's CNTRL-ALT-BS or CNTRL-ALT-+ or CNTRL-ALT-"-" do not work. I have to switch-off the Laptop ! Switching from internal- to external monitor, an back again to internal (via hotkey), as advised in some FAQ's, does not solve the problem. s Also switching to a console with CNTRL-ALT-F2 and back to graphic with ALT-F7 does not work. Sometimes I get a "gray"-background (like a checkerboard) and a BIG block-mouse-cursor (aprox. 1 X 1 cm !). When I move the mouse something happens, but after a few moves the display changes to total black an I have to switch off the laptop. The same behavior happens, when I use an external standard CRT monitor. I played around with some Silicon-Motion Option-switches like : Option "NoAccel" "True" and Option "UseBIOS" "True" , but with no progress. I attached the XF86Config- and XFree86.log files to the e-mail. Who can help me please !!?? bets regards Don Schultz
