I had the exact same problem last week when I tried to get X working after installing a new linux distro. I don't remember exactly what was wrong; I even tried playing with horizontal and vertical refresh, etc. Anyways, what I did is I ran XFree86 -configure, and I was able to use the XF86Config that was generated by that.
Phillip P.S. Your screen won't be completely full if your resolution is less than that of your actual laptop LCD screen resolution. So the only way to get x to fill the entire screen is to use the matching screen resolution, or figure out how to get it to do the "stretch display" thing, sometimes called "expand panel image." Anyway, I couldn't find an option for my video card for how to stretch the image (and even if I did the image really sucks when it is stretched), but I did find a way to do it directly via interrupt 10 for my card. Not sure if the ati driver supports an option for this or not. On Mon, Jan 12, 2004 at 01:49:07PM -0700, Casey T. Deccio wrote: > I always have the hardest time getting x to work on laptops.
