[To recap: the motherboard on my TP560C went south and I sent it back to IBM for service. When it came back, they had replaced the motherboard and upgraded the BIOS to whatever-the-current-standard-is. X didn't work when I got it back.] On Sat, 6 Jun 1998, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: >I have a tp560 here that didn't work last time I tried. It did work with >the previous version of XF86 though. Poul-Henning wins the Kewpie Doll. I went hunting around my other systems and came up with a 3.3.1 XF86_SVGA binary, and a new XF86Config file from the Japanese laptop site someone mentioned earlier. (Sorry I don't have this information available...my life is in total disarray right now.) Anyway, replacing the binary did the trick. Using the curent XF86_SVGA just doesn't work with *any* XF86Config file I could muster. The older SVGA works with one set up for a TP560E, though. This sucks. I think a well-placed email needs to go to someone on the XFree86 project and see if we can get this ironed out so It Just Works.
