[Xpert]chips-driver bug ?
Hello. It's some time ago that I wrote to this list. I commenced in the Newbie-archiv with: http://xfree86.org/pipermail/newbie/2002-August/017118.html Later I posted to this list with: http://xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-August/020322.html In the meantime I have installed debian-3 (woody) and this brought me some new info. I already believed that xfree4 wouldn't work for my old laptop but debian showed me something different with xfree-4.1.0-16. The config of this x-server was no problem at all ! After Debian Linux brought the solution I re-installed gentoo-Linux because this is what I actually want. Gentoo Linux comes with xfree-4.2.0. In the meantime somebody from this list still wrote a message concerning clock-settings for my problem. (Unfortunatly I accidendly deleted the mail - therefore I don't know anymore who the kind sender was. If you read this: thnx) So I tried the XFreeConfig-4 from Debian and I set up a new XFreeConfig-4 with some Clock-Setting-Options... And you know what: I still have the same problem like at the beginning !! The screen becomes white slowly after 1..3 secondes. It seems like overcharging. With both configs. No matter what I do. (I'll attach the Debian-Config + /var/log/XFree.log and my new clock-setting-config + /var/log/XFree.log.) Can anybody imagine why this still does not work ? I mean: Wouldn't a xfree4.1 have the same config-format like xfree4.2. Doesn't this mean that a bug in the Chips-driver is the last explanation which rests ? thnx for reading mox ***config from debian: ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION # XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by dexconf, the # Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page. # (Type man XF86Config-4 at the shell prompt.) # # If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make changes # before the ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION line above, and/or after the # ### END DEBCONF SECTION line below. # # To change things within the debconf section, run the command: # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 # as root.
