Dell Inspiron 4000 Can't start xserver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



THere was a bug in 4.3 in the r128 driver.  the only mode that works is
the native one for your LCD, 1400x1050 in your case.

(**) R128(0): Using flat panel for display
(II) R128(0): Panel size: 1400x1050
(II) R128(0): Panel ID: Samsung LTN141P2        
(II) R128(0): Panel Type: Color, Single, TFT
(II) R128(0): Panel Interface: LVDS

You just need to add the mode to the screen section of your config and 
you should be ready to go.

	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection

in order to use the other modes you need to set your hsync and vrefresh
to a very wide range.
see bug 661 for more info:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661

BTW, to those on the list, did the fix for 661 ever get committed?  I
don't recall ever seeing a reference to it on the cvs commit list.

--------------------------

I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 with ATI Mobility 128 AGP graphics card 8Mb
RAM. 
I'm running Red Hat 9 and have also tried to run Mandrake 9.2, both
with the same
result. X refuses to start due to a valid screen mode is not found. 
I have tried several different XF86Config files and I have also trid to
change
the settings for HorizSynch and VertRefresh but nothing seems to help.
Included is my latest XF86Config and the log file.

Could someone please help me?
