Hello,
Am posting this to both lists, in hope that someone has seen this before
with either this chipset or this laptop. The current stable XFree86 in
Mandrake Cooker works mostly OK, except for Xv extensions crashing the
computer when used. Trying to use the Xv extension - before the computer
crashes - causes the screen to change to weird colors / textures.
I downloaded and installed a cvs snapshot that was built on 12/27, and
the weird colors / textures are there all the time, regardless if Xv is used
or not. It is hard to describe - so I took some digital photos which I can
e-mail to whoever would like to see the effect I am talking about. At this
point the snapshot of 12/27 is totally unusable with this computer.
Things that I have tried so far:
Don't set the VGA mode when booting (ie, don't have vga=791 )
Disable 2D accelleration
Various zoom modes (toggle with <ctrl><alt><keypad +> or <keypad ->
screen resolutions 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768
color depths of 8 <which ALMOST looks OK> 15, 16, 24
Also the consoles are no longer in color - they're more of a light gray on
dark gray.
What info / files / etc. should I send and to who?
ANY help would be appreciated.
Vincent Meyer
