HELP! VideoModes for IBM ThinkPad 760CD ?

HELP! VideoModes for IBM ThinkPad 760CD ?

Post by Peter Silv » Sun, 31 Mar 1996 04:00:00



The video modes FAQ doesn't mention LCD screens, I have no
specification on the Sync frequencies of the screen, Have an
X fills part of the screen, much ghosting.  I think it's only
a question of the video mode. Attached are some data:

         - result of SuperProbe,
        - result of X -probeonly
        - a sample XF86Config file (best so far...)

Thanks for any help !

want an 8bit deep (or better) 1024x768 mode (10.1 inch color LCD screen)

It looks great under windows 95 (grumble, grumble)

1. Subject: Please help - Debian 1.2 on IBM ThinkPad 760CD

I am having trouble in getting Debian 1.2 installed mainly
because of a PCMCIA TokenRing and/or TCP problem ... any help ??
I am in dire need of getting my PCMCIA Token Ring working.
With Slackware I had no problems ... with Debian I cannot make it alone
...
Thank you very much for any help. Reply offline if possible to

now ifconfig shows both lo and tr0
tr0 Link encap 16/4 Mbps TR    HW Addr 08.00.54.A6.FF.85
net addresses and masks all correct
UP BROADCAST RUNNING
RX:498   all other 0
Interrupt 5   Base addr 0xa20

my netstat -r shows a route only for lo
route add 0 9.87.248.1    fails with
SIOCADDRT: No such device

Can anybody understand what is wrong ??? All rest of my debian packages
await on a nearby RISC/6000 |||
BTW Where do I properly customize the network parameters in Debian 1.2
??

Thank you again for any help. Bob
