by Hi,
I have a couple of problems with Linux and XFree86 on a Micron Transport
notebook (Pentium 133, 16MB RAM): the mouse does not work, and the
resolution is 640x480 (instead of 800x600 under Windows95).
I've successfully installed Slackware 3.1 (kernel 2.0.0), and created
/dev/console (the lack of which was a problem). Micron has Cirrus
Logic 754x video card, which is not apparently not supported yet.
It is supposed to be somewhat similar to cl5428, but tried xf86config
with that card with very little success (the screen went rather wild).
I found a working XF86Config from http:/linux.isdi.com, and can start
X and applications, but get no mouse nor full resolution, as mentioned.
I've spent a few days on this, and would greatly appreciate any help/
suggestions. Here's a printout of the messages I get from startx,
output from SuperProbe, and a copy of my XF86Config:
