I'm trying to set up X windows on my new Toshiba 610CT Portege
notebook computer. I have XFree86 version 3.1.2 from the Slackware
3.0 distribution. The configuration program, xf86config, asks for:
- video chipset
- horizontal sync frequencies
- vertical sync frequencies
- amount of video memory
- programmable clock chip (if any)
How should I answer?
With the SVGA server, X -probeonly told me I had only one video clock
(approximately 28.3 MHz), and only 256 KB of video memory (yet, it's
supposed to support a 1024x768x256 color mode??). I invented this
mode:
This works. However, I don't know whether the 67.44 Hz vertical sync
or the 35.38 kHz horizontal sync are stressing something.
Does anyone have details on this machine?
