Hello!
The case(problem) is the following: using the driver VESA there is a certain
"braking" - work slowly - when running a video (fullscreen mode). and using
the driver "via' for xfree86 everything is shown incorrectly.
data about the system:
Debian sarge 3.1
kernel 2.6.8-2-386
X-server version 4.3.0
about hardware
notebook roverbook partnel E418L
CPU via c-3
video via cle266
In man via it is written, that in Xfree86-config-4 you should write in the
following way:
Section "Device"
Identifier "devname"
Driver "via"
...
EndSection
With this configuration starting XFree picture isn`t shown on LCD monitor, but
it switches on the CRT, then i read in man via that`s why it is necessary to
add an option: "ActiveDevice"
after that section "device" was the following:
Section "Device"
Identifier "VIA CLE266"
Driver "via"
Option "ActiveDevice" "LCD,CRT"
EndSection
but now, though picture was shown on the LCD monitor but picture was
incorrectly (lines and quadrangles). There is no problem with the hardware
because everething works in windows (XP) and with vesa driver too and only
video "brakes" I know that everything works correctly on the same notebooks
of some aquantances but not with debian (for example AlT linux). I tried to
copy all the sections for monitor and vidocard from their XFree86-config-4,
but it didn`t help - the picture was incorrect. That`s why i decided to write
to you an i hope that something will be clear for me.
if it helps you here is a output from COLUMNS=100 dpkg -l |grep dfsg
