Re: [Plug] running X on a laptop
|
Try downloading the errata for RH6 for Xfree86 it may have better support
for your card. I think it has an update for it in there. NeoMagic does
give all of its info for the cards to the linux community so there should
be a working driver out there. Try the errata abd see if that works.
Either that or run XF86Setup it worked better for my PC's Graphics card
then did Xconfigurator.

:OK, I'm trying to run RH6 on my HP Omnibook 4100 laptop, and the initial
:install went ok, as far as I can tell. I think the X system installed ok.
:However, I can't seem to get to a desktop. I get to the tiny black & white
:boxes screen with the 'X' cursor, and that's where it stops. I can
:Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc and get back to a prompt. Xconfigurator found the NeoMagic128
:video chip that this notebook uses, and I told it to use the LCD 1024x768
:monitor (this is a 14" TFT screen that is normally used 1024x768). I have no
:earthly idea what any of the other monitor parameters should be, and the
:probe didn't seem to work at all.

:How do I troubleshoot this? What have I done wrong (or forgotten to do)?
:Everything runs just peachy on my desktop at home, but not on the laptop.

:Thanks in advance,
