This might be more appropriate for an XFree86 list; if so, please accept my aplogies and maybe some direction as to where to find the appropriate list. I've been running FreeBSD 2.2.6 with XFree86 on my Pentium at home for a few months with no problems. I recently decided to load FreeBSD on a really bizarre machine I've got sitting around - a pseudo-laptop machine using a 486 on a PC-104 SBC. The SBC uses a Chips & Technologies 65545 LCD driver connected to a passive color LCD. Under WinBloze the display will run at 800x600 with 256 colors. I am running XFree86 setup from the menu under /stand/sysinstall. When I run "graphical setup" X does come up without a hitch, and look pretty decent. If I then go through the selection processes and select a C&T 65545 and select what I believe to be reasonable horizontal and vertical frequencies, I can't run startx afterwards (startx deletes all the ModeLines as being unreasonable). If I get into the config utility and don't modify anything, just select "Done" foloowed by "Okay" X comes up ok, asking me if I want to run xvidtune, save the config, or bail out. I select "Save config", then run startx again. Once more X refuses to start, after deleting all the modelines and bitching about not being able to find a modeline to match my default (640x480). Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this POS StarScreen to run XFree86? I'm about at the end of my rope here!
