Re: Some help with X11
Cirrus cards use the SVGA X server (xserver-svga) package in Debian. I guess you have this already installed since you can check some XF86Setup generated modes. My suggestion is that you check the /etc/X11/Xserver which tells what Xserver to use. The first line in my Xserver file is '/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA' but you might have the XF86_VGA16 server as the default server. I think XF86Setup uses implicitly XF86_SVGA when testing the modes. After you are done with XF86Setup and type 'startx' then the default server in '/etc/X11/Xserver' gets started and if that is XF86_VGA16 you cirrus card won't work.

Some help with X11
I have recently installed XFree 3.2 from the Debian 1.2 distribution. I have a Cirrus Logic 5434-based card. I have run XF86Setup and managed to get some working modes that looked good. I then saved the config file. However, when I type 'startx' there is always an error that reads something like 'clgd5434 is an invalid chipset.' How can the XF86Setup utility work and start the server with usable modes only to be left with a useless XF86Config. BTW I put the new XF86Config's in /etc/X11/ and have a link from /usr/lib/X11R6/ (or whatever the appropriate directory is for XF86Config's) to /etc/X11/XF86Config. Thank you for any help, Paul Rightley -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
