This is L-M 6.1 7.0b upgrade
rpm by rpm. Everything major
has settled down but continuing
to have Xconfigurator probs.
No probs with 6.1 with screen rez and mouse
#Xconfigurator --> "Xconfigurator has successfully probed
PCI
Cirrus Logic:GD 5464 (Laguna)
X Server:SVGA
Default color Depth:32 bpp
Resolution:1024x768
I choose "do it myself"
16bpp:640x480--800x600--1024x768
24bpp:640x480--800x600--1024x768
(there is no 32bpp setting?)
I get "there was an error executing the XServer in probing mode"
So I run through 'Custom settings' again,
<yes, I have monitor spec sheet>
Still get errors
Quit Xconfig and Setup
Do it again
No Successful Probe this time and kicks me to "custom"
Do the "custom settings" thing with
Conservative: bpp16:640x480--800x600--1024x768
Still get errors.!
Starting an Xsession gets me somewhere but mouse cursor
still disappears in what seems to be a 1024x768 mode.
'mouseconfig' sees my mouse as Mouse Sytems serial
It has 3 buttons but the 3button emulation box appears
to have no effect either checked or unchecked
Conclusions? Suggestions?
Hopes: I would like to get a clean no error X install
to share with my "doubting Thomas" M$ user friends
to enhance their desire to "jump ship and join the rebellion"
Thanks People It's looking Good!
