I've just made and booted an i686 TC1.1 Live CD for my old 32-bit Thinkpad A22p w/ATI video and 1600x1200 screen. As I expected, the video display is torn into vertical stripes starting about 2/3 of the way across (old problem). This can only be corrected with a manually-created xorg.conf file (copy attached) on a fully-installed system. Curiously, an Alt-PrtSc snapshot copied to another system does not show the tears. The only new thing I see that isn't working correctly is the screen resolution. It boots up as an Unknown monitor at 1280x1024. There's no system-config-display utility to change it to 1600x1200. lspci correctly identifies my ATI video chipset: [root@localhost ~] lspci | grep ATI 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x [rev 02] Somehow that particular version has never been included in the R128 driver's list of chipsets. The closest match in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is: ATI Rage 128 Mobility M3 LE (PCI), ATI Rage 128 Mobility M3 LF (AGP) A few lines later in Xorg.0.log the LCD panel is correctly detected: [ 318.256] (**) R128(0): Using flat planel for display [ 318.257] (II) R128(0): Primary Display == Type 2 [ 318.257] (II) R128(0): Panel size: 1600x1200 [ 318.257] (II) R128(0): Panel ID: LG.PHILIPS LP150U1-A2 [ 318.257] (II) R128(0): Panel Type: Color, Single, TFT [ 318.257] (II) R128(0): Panel Interface: LVDS Yet the desktop still comes up in 1280x1024, the highest resolution available with System -> Preferences -> Monitors. It's being prevented from using 1600x1200 by the default hsync: [ 318.280] (II) R128(0): <default monitor>: Using hsync range of 31.50-74.01 kHz ...
