Hi there:
I am hoping someone out there is running X with an a22p laptop using the r128 driver. I am using XFree 4.2.1 and I am only running Linux on the laptop.
I did:
XF86Config -configure
and I got a working XFree86 at 1600x1200. I tried to change it to 1280x1024 lower resolution to no avail.
I keep getting horizontal scroll down the middle of the screen.
Here is my /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

(**) R128(0): Default mode "1280x1024": 162.0 MHz, 85.6 kHz, 79.7 HzFrom /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
(II) R128(0):Modeline "1280x1024" 162.00 1280 1344 1368 1840 1024 1026 1029 1074 +hsync +vsync
(==) R128(0): DPI set to (75,75)
What I did:
1) I increased vertrefresh to 50-100 from 60-100 and I stopped getting vertrefresh out of range error messages.
2) I added ViewPort 0 0 under the Section Screen to force that resolution as the virtual desktop.
3) I tried listing Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024"and tried switching using to get the 1280x1024 resolution CTRL-ALT- - (from the numeric pad & keyboard) that didn't work
either)
4) I tried changing Panel Width to "1280" and Panel Length "1024" and I got a screwy screen.
5)I changed Modes back to "1280x1024" and still got the scrolling vertrefresh lines vertically across the screen
6)I then added under the section "Monitor"
UseModes "Modes0"
and then created a new section "Modes"
Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes0"
Modeline "1280x1024" 162.00 1280 1344 1368 1840 1024 1026 1029 1074
EndSection
7) I looked at man vidtune but it says it is obsolete with xfree86 4x
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Sorry for the long email...
