[ltp] How to configure X11 for 256 colors on a TP370C ?

[Nils Weisensee]

Hi!

I have a Thinkpad 370C with an LCD that is capable of displaying 256 
colors at a resolution of 640x480. But I cant get it working. It doesnt matter if I use 
XFree86 Version 3.3.1 or XFree86 Version 4 - the problem persists at 
both of them.

Is there anybody who can give me detailed information wich version of 
XFree86 I should use and how to configure the XF86Config? I think I 
already found everything thats out there in the internet dealing with 
this topic and I tried a lot of different settings, but there are always 
only 16 colors displayed.

When starting the XServer, there appear no errormessages, everything 
seems to be right. But when starting icewm or fvwm95, they dont display 
256 colors :-(

I am running SuSE Linux 7.3

thx for the help!
bye

PS: I guess the chip wich is used in the 370C is the wd90c24. I tried 
the correct chipset and the svga-driver and a few different combinations 
of clocksetting and modelines that I found on the net.
