Hello, I have serious problems to configure X11 on an IBM Thinkpad 760EL with a TRIDENT Cyber 9320 rev. 227 video card, and a 12" DSTN display, manufactured in 1997.
I cannot find a good /etc/X11/XF86Config, even in VGA16 640x480. The fonts are awful and bigs and the screen seems to be virtual (but I cannot move it) ! I need to use GNU/Emacs + LaTeX, with xdvi, , Ghostview and so on : impossible to work with this kind of X display... :-( Since two weeks, I have tested dozens of XF86Config for the Thinkpad 760EL and 535E (same video card) founded on the Internet, but there no config which works. In fact, in 800x600 I have a black screen with two horizontal yellow lines : I guess this is dangerous for my display so I "Ctrl-Altr-Backspace" immediatly when I see it. I use Linux since 1998 and i believe I have a fairly good experience in installing it, XFree included. But here, this is really really problematic ! I have buyed this laptop to use Linux only, and I must admit that now I'm near to give up and sell back this Thinkpad... I used XFree 3.3.6, 4.0.1, 4.1.0 with Slackware 7.1, Slackware 8.0, Mandrake 7.2, and Mandrake 8.1. What is the secret to have a 640x480 16 colors scrren with "normal" fonts ? Thanks in advance for help. D. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
