RE: [newbie] Need xf86config help
And I thought I was alone in this...! I thought my problem was because I had to use "Peanut Linux" due to the limitations of my old laptop: P-75@90 700MB HD 40MB RAM 640x480 LCD can only use either CD OR FDD not both, and CD-ROM drive is not bootable so I can't do LM! I go through XF86Setup, and set the display to 640x480 VGA, and the mode to 640x480, and everything goes fine until I startx. Startx errors out saying that 640x480 is not a valid mode, removes it from the list, then says there are no valid modes, so it quits. I've looked for an LCD setting, but the selections are limited. This is probably an older version of Linux. Is there a way to add more options to the XF86Setup monitor selection? -Carlton -Original Message- From: Joseph Burden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 5:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Need xf86config help Hey...

RE: [newbie] Need xf86config help
Hmmm. Well, I'm doing a tad better with my Laptop. I don't have that either/or problem with CD/floppy, fortunately, but I'm doing better with my Monitor problem. I still gotta figure out a good set of compatible specs for the TFT screen, and I know I should be happy with800x600@16bpp. Everything else works. The thing that was giving me the most trouble was that my graphics chip was misdetected. Make sure you have all the documentation you can find from the manufacturer is the best advice I can give. --Original Message-- From: Dodd Carlton J MSgt 726 ACS/CSG [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: December 1, 2000 1:33:09 PM GMT Subject: RE: [newbie] Need xf86config help And I thought I was alone in this...!
