I seem to be having a problem migrating to the newest release of X.
The machine is a Toshiba Tecra 700CS with a Chips and Technologies
65548. Previously the box was running slackware 7.1, with XFree86 3.3.6
I believe. The display was able to hit 800x600, 16bpp. I have since
removed that operating system and have installed linux from scratch,
with X 4.2.1. Kernel configuration is basically the same. The only
hardware change was the addition of a 3com pcmcia nic.
There are quite a few differences in the configuration. When I got
it to start up it was only hitting 640x480. If I reduced it to 8bpp I
could do 800x600. By adding the "videoram 2048" option I could do
800x600 with 16bpp. The card I believe only has 1M of ram, but was able
to do this before. Currently I can get it to boot up in 800x600 16bpp,
but it will only last for about 10 minutes until the machine hard-locks.
Any information would be appriciated.
