Th= at said, I do need some help trying to figure out how to: 1. Determine exactly what Xorg is probing for (what details it needs, etc).= So far I think I need memory address ranges, chipsets, etc. Found a lot of= stuff in the log, but I'm not sure if its enough or all I need. 2. Then take the details and set them out in the Xorg.conf. (VideoAdaptor S= ection?) What I'm finding really annoying is why the manual configuration systems ar= e completely unavailable as of now. I remember my first crack at getting X = running on a 4.3 system, and having to go through screens of configurations= for the monitor, card, inputs, etc. Ok, its cool now that we don't need to= do this anymore, but it does kill things if you're trying this in a system= which is restrictive. >From all the info I gathered so far /dev/io is used for the probing. IF the= details are entered manually, then surely this would mean it doesn't need = io. I'm still not sure what to do about /dev/mem and /dev/kmem. This is just an experiment- please do humour me and let me have my fun tryi= ng to bang my head even against the brick wall- who knows? Maybe I'll get s= omewhere... :) ---- Msg sent via @Mail - http://atmail.com/
