I'll try to take a photo of it :) (Moreover, i could not start textmode install, it just hung up before start, so i cannot do any kind of installation.) What do you mean hung-up? What happens exactly? Oops, sorry... After loading the ramdisk from the cdrom (the red progress bar), it seemed to get into an endless loop trying to read something from the cd. (I can hear it seeking). The screen is black, apart from the welcome... blue titlebar. BUT: after a lot of time (more than five minutes) it get into the installer itself. This is not a media, i tried it with three different discs. -- pozsy

This may be the same machine someone else mentioned, that drove me to add the force-fbdev in the final for. Okay, I managed to do a text install, so I could experiment with X config. I inserted the 1280x854 modeline into the XF86Config-4, started X and ... got the some effect as in the installer. So basically this seems to be a modeline issue. I changed the horizsync to 30-70, the vertrefresh to 50-131 (saw these somewhere on the net) and I nearly got a useable X. The resolution, the colors are good, but there is a constant interference on the screen (which makes it unusable). Other major problems: - After starting X, I cannot switch back to the console. You may think of me as a dumb now :), but I get an even more wierd effect... :( - Whenever X crashed, I had to do a reset. Before crashing X, I did a mount -o remount,sync,noatime /dev/root to reduce filesystem corruption. Even after doing this, after reboot fsck asked me about repairing the filesystem, because it found too serious errors. What the fun thing was: I really have no idea why, but at this point, my keyboard was _totally_ screwed up. I could not answer Y, beacuse I could not find which key it was mapped mapped. For example, pressing enter caused printing a 8 character on the screen. (??? I could not believe this, I know this is getting insane ???). [Finally, I could do the fsck by spawning a shell with the kernel parameter init=/bin/bash] Wuff. That's it for now :) -- pozsy
