NEC Versa 4200 800x600 TFT Color: X Server help

Post by Arnatt Klinson » Mon, 13 Jul 1998 04:00:00



I love running Linux at home. I would like to run it on my laptop
at work also. So far I got X to run in 640x480 chip set to generic
using XF86_SVGA, RH5.0

My laptop screen can do 800x600. I do not know what video chip it has.
I like to set it so I can have 800x600. If any one did the Versa 4200
before I really need to know how you do it. I guess I mainly need

1. Chip info:
2. Which X server did you use:
3. the video dot clock(s) and the mode line: 800x600

Thanks

Thank for your reply.

I actually found the solution, and using every thing standard config.
I use XF86_VGA16 runing in mode 800x600x256 40MHZ dot clock.
I have to boot Linux right into vga mode. So I add a line in
lilo.conf

vga=770

After this X server can display using the whole 800x600 laptop
screen. I am very happy now.
