I am using Mike Harris's Xfree86-4.2.0 RPMs to run XFree86 on a Dell Latitude C610 with the above controller and the XGA 1024x768 display. I have run into a couple of issues: (1) Artifacts: When I log out from Gnome, the logout dialog box pops up with two vertical black bars extending from the top of the logout box to the top of the screen. (2) Hangups: With the Latitude, it is possible to switch from a VC to the BIOS control screen and back. With X running, I can switch to a VC (<CTRL>-<ALT>-<F1>), switch to the BIOS screen (<Fn>-<F1>), switch back to the VC (<ESC>), and back to X (<ALT>-<F7>). At this point, X is completely unresponsive to keyboard or mouse buttons, although the cursor moves when I move on the touchpad. Powering off is the only way to regain control. Restoring from suspend-to-disk (<Fn>-A) from X brings me to the X screen, but with the same symptoms: no keyboard or mouse button input, but the cursor moves. Also, the top .25" or so of the screen looks like randomly colored pixels. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
