Hi, I've tried the "nsc" driver. The setting 1024x768 24 bpp is ok. When I tried the 1280x1024 24 bpp, X loaded successfully but the screen flickered. X exited successfully when I closed the X server. I have several questions regarding the report from the log file? 1. (EE) NSC(0): Unable to reserve scanline area What does this error indicate? How do I make sure that my monitor supports the configuration that I set with the X server? 2. (--) NSC(0): Virtual size is 1280x1024(pitch 2048) Does this mean that the driver attempts to use the 2048x1536 resolution instead of the 1280x1024 resolution? The graphics controller cannot support 2048 3. (--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp (**) NSC(0): Depth 24, (--)framebuffer bpp 32 How come the probed depth is different from the framebuffer depth?
