Re: X server on a Compaq Presario 1235
Thanks for the reply. Where would we find an xserver-neomagic package? I don't see it in either the stable or the unstable distributions? Hmm, neither could I! But I'm not making this up, seriously! :-) The package itself is xserver-neomagic, a non-free/x11 extra package maintained by Ian Lynagh ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and it's version 1.1.0-1-1. My guess -- and it's only a guess -- is that with the recent new unstable X that it was deleted so that it could be recompiled. I'd recommend e-mailing Ian to ask what the status is. -- Regards,| Debian GNU/ __ o http://www.debian.org . |/ / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ Randy | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | // /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ http://www.golgotha.net | because lockups should only be for convicts.
Re: X server on a Compaq Presario 1235
for the neomagic cards on compaq presarios(i have the 1680) you can now use the svga serverget it from the unstable tree or get it from xfree86.org..there will be no new neomagic-xserver i think because the hardware specs were released to the xfree86 people so they incorporated it into the svga server. here is my xf86config file for reference. regards, jd? ps sorry if it gets mangled . ;) == Section FilesRgbPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaledFontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaledFontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/#ModulePath /usr/X11R6/lib/modulesEndSection#Section Module#Load xf86Jstk.so#EndSectionSection ServerFlags#NoTrapSignals# DontZap#DontZoom#DisableVidModeExtension# AllowNonLocalXvidtune#DisableModInDev# AllowNonLocalModInDevEndSectionSection KeyboardProtocol Standard AutoRepeat 500 5XkbDisableXkbKeymap xfree86(us)EndSectionSection Pointer#ProtocolMicrosoft# Device /dev/ttyS0ProtocolPS/2Device /dev/psaux Emulate3ButtonsEmulate3Timeout50EndSectionSection Monitor Identifier Generic MultisyncVendorName UnknownModelName UnknownHorizSync 30-64VertRefresh 50-100# 640x480 @ 60 Hz, 31.5 kHz hsyncModeline 640x480 25.175 640 664 760 800 480 491 493 525# 800x600 @ 60 Hz, 37.8 kHz hsyncModeline 800x600 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync# 1024x768 @ 60 Hz, 48.4 kHz hsyncModeline 1024x768651024 1032 1176 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsyncEndSectionSection DeviceIdentifier NeoMagic#Chipset NM2160#IOBase 0xfea0#MemBase 0xfd00VideoRam 2048#DacSpeed 90#Option linear# Option nolinear#Option sw_cursor#Option hw_cursor# Option no_accel#Option intern_disp#Option extern_disp#Optionmmio#Option no_mmio# Option lcd_center#Option no_stretchEndSectionSection Screen Driver svgaDevice NeoMagicMonitor Generic MultisyncSubsection DisplayDepth 24Modes 800x600 640x480virtual 1024 768 EndSubsectionSubsection DisplayDepth 16Modes 1024x768 800x600 640x480virtual 1024 768EndSubsectionSubsection Display Depth 8Modes 1024x768 800x600 640x480 virtual 1024 768EndSubsectionEndSection
