I had a pretty new Tecra 8100 that I managed to get working at 1024x768 for
my boss.
The tricky bit if I remember correctly was tweaking the XF86Config (once I
realised the Xserver was working ok). I don't have the machine anymore but I
remember searching google.com and found an config file that was excellent.
However I also noticed there are a lot of web sites with info and varying
ways of getting it to work satisfactorily depending on the model.


Good luck.

I neither have a Toshy or an MX chipset... but... I do have an IX
chipset and I believe the same server handles both. Try this:

I have my server running at 32bit 1024x768 8)

2000-11-07 Thread tom burkart

Hi peoples!
Has anyone got any experiences with the top end Toshiba Tecra notebooks
and installing X on them?
In particular:  Has anyone gotten the S3 Savage/MX chipset to work with a
resolution greater than 640x480?
