I just recently made a purchase of a gateway
2000 solo (2100) laptop, for 20 bucks, great buy. Anyhow it has an onboard
Cirrus 7548 which is said to be supported in the latest version of XF86 (
4.3.0). I ran XF86Config and set all the refresh rates and all the
necessities. I chose my Cirrus 7548 and it said it was unsupported.
I didnt think much of it and then the configuration completed. I tried to
'startx' and nothing, a blank screen. I rebooted and chose the generic
Cirrus 754X (laptop) video card and did everything the same way. I tried
to start up X and i got the initial screen with the mouse pointer in the center,
but no splash screen. I waited and waited and nothing came up. It
just idles there waiting for something. Is there some way i can edit the
/usr/X11/XF86Config file so i can start up X at all?
