Just installed Redhat 4.0 without a hitch.
Display works great - except for bottom bar.
Running on a Passive Matrix portable capable of only 640x480. I've
chosen the CL-GD6235 chip with Generic Monitor, Customer, etc. to no
avail. I just can't seem to get the bottom bar to display properly.
Probeonly reports that it is simulating 800x600, and the panning works
fine.
Please e-mail your great and wonderful ideas.
TIA
Ron
I recently got slackware linux 1.2.0 from a distributor on 3.5 disks.
I had to return it, because it was not booting(the boot disk was unusable).
Then I tried a linux version from a friend, and it was OK.
I have a Cirrus-logic vga card model # 6235 and a notebook mono display.
The XF86_SVGA supports this card, because I saw the driver name
by executing "X -probeonly >&/tmp/out"
"cat /tmp/out"
"X -showconfig"
However when I run XF86_SVGA, the screen and keyboard freeze.
The I changed Xconfig modes section data and I got a weird image
after running X.
The modeDB.txt, README.cirrus, VideoModes.doc
did not help me very much!
I tried to compute the modes data in Xconfig, but did not get anywhere.
The help files say that cirrus-logic 6235 is like 5420 but with
clock data = about 25. I tried some modes from 5422, 5426
but no good.
I even let the X server probe the VGA card/display for clock data
and I put the probed clock data in Xconfig.
After all that I found out that the clock must be set to 25.
I stiil do not have a correct mode data section in Xconfig.
Can anybody help?
I only need the mode data for 640x480 resolution.
