--=======69FB4978======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-111266E6; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Having more woes trying to get X setup on a Thinkpad i1300. To recap: chip: silicon motion lynxEM+ memory: 2 mb (according to win98se) Display: 800x600 hpa System: FreeBSD 4.8-Release Have not been able to get X configured. The same laptop runs X in Knoppix, Red Hat 9, Suse 8.2, and now Debian Woody just_fine. In fact, I just installed Woody in a fit of insanity and I didnt have to mess with anything, just used debconf--asked me what chip I had and display characteristics (nothing about frequencies) and when I executed "startx" I got a nice 8 bit kde desktop. Now, I have noted that the XF86Config file is in ver 3.x format, not the -4 format. And Freebsd is running XFree86 4.3.0. I dont know if the tools in use are old, or what the problem is. --karl --=======69FB4978=======--
