Hi
everyone,
Can anyone help me
please?
i've set up my new PCG-GRT786M as
a dualboot system with redhat7.2. All is well apart from the Xfree86 server
which refuses to start.
i've installed the
latest nvidia drivers (apparently successfully) and hacked up my xfree86config
file to pieces but all to no avail (I hardly need add that I'm a bit new to all
this)
One of the problems
is that the machine has a non-standard (for x anyway) display - a 16.1 TFT
display panel (1400x1050) and nVidia GeForce Go FX5600 with 64MB. And Sony have
refused to give me the info i need to try and write my own entries for the
Xfree86config file saying that they don't support Linux.
It did occur to me
that I could try installing RH9 which comes with a newer version of X11 which
might have a 'smarter' version of XConfig on it, but I don't really want to go
thru all the traumas and newsgroup-overload of the last two weeks unless I'm
sure.
Any ideas v.gratefully accepted.
Regards,
Indra
