This problem is now solved.  I upgraded the kernel from the 2.4.18-bf2.4
that was installed by Debian to a homegrown 2.4.21-rc2 kernel.  Then my
4.2.1-6.1 X packages work fine.  Probably worth noting for the next time
someone has this problem.  Rumour has it X 4.3 should work out of the box,
but I haven't tested that yet.

Problem with Sony Vaio PCG-R505GL

2003-05-15 Thread Matthew Wilcox

X doesn't work on this laptop.  I've tried the Debian 4.2.1-6 packages,
Daniel Stone's 4.3.0-0ds4 packages and 4.2.1-6 plus the patch found at
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/linux/c400.html#xfree86

There's a couple of successful reports on linux-on-laptops.com, but
obviously I don't want to switch to GenToo :-P

I'm attaching the XF86Config file and the XFree86.0.log file produced
by 4.2.1-6 plus the patch.  Any other info you might want?
