Do you mean the vesa driver for xfree or the vesa framebuffer with the fbdev driver for xfree? I looked at vesa a little bit before, but I assumed that this laptop was too old (c. 1995) to work with the vesa standard. I tried using the vesa driver a couple times but it said it couldn't find a device. I didn't fiddle with it beyond that. Do I need to have a kernel built with vesa framebuffer support? The kernel I'm using wasn't built with the vesa framebuffer though I do have some of the other framebuffer options turned on (4 bit & 8 bit). Can anyone point me to some better documentation for these drivers than what I find in the man pages and in xfree86.org? >Hi > >Look at fb and vesa. > >Robyn > >On Tue, 2002-06-25 at 09:49, Colin Andrews wrote: >> >> I recently installed xfree86 4.2 on an OLD compaq laptop (because I have nothing better to do with my spare time apparently). >> >> The system is a Compaq Elite LTE 4/75cx (if anybody cares) which uses the WD90c24 chipset. >> _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
