Post by Christopher Purv » Wed, 10 Jan 1996 04:00:00



Hi All,

I have recently purchased a new P90 laptop PCI 16 meg Dual Scan - Not branded.

I have installed the new beta xfree 3.1.2B to get the support for this chip.

Has anyone managed to get this to work ?
At the moment I have it running at 800x600 on the LCD screen only after
startx then fn+f5 to change the mode to VGA monitor only ... ?

Any ideas suggestions experiences help etc most welcome.

I will summerize the replies I get

Thanks
Chris

Christopher,
I have an AST Ascentia 950N with the same chipset. I never managed to
get X312B running (maybe I screwed my XF86Config too bad). But I got
the modified Xserver from http://HTTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU/~eanders/linux.
This one's running fine, but I can't switch back to the console, that's
totally screwed up.

If you could send me your XF86Config via email, I'd like to give it a try.

Klaus

1. DELL Laptop XP4100D/Cirrus CL-GD7543

I have installed Linux Slackware 2.3 on my laptop
"DELL Latitude XP4100D" without having any problems.
Linux performs very well on this laptop as long as I use
the VGA_16 driver for the X86Free package. The SVGA driver
doas not recognize the SVGA chip used in the DELL laptop.
The chip number is Cirrus CL-GD7543. Who can help me to  
get XF86Free SVGA working for this chipset or who can give
any usefull information to fix this problem.
