[ltp] X server

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Howdy Dan!

I have SuSe 6.1 with the 2.2.x version of the kernel, used Bill's files and
placed them in the following dir's (this is the important part):es in mijn
file systeem:

-->  XFREE86_SVGA   in root and then unzipped.
-->  SuperProbe in /usr/bin/X11
-->  XF86Config in /etc (not in /etc/X11 which RH uses, as SuSe reads the
config from /etc)

The only manual adjustment was to my monitor settings:

Using the SuSe too Yast (or however you want to start it), start XF86Setup
and change the MONITOR settings to 1280x1024 and modify vert/horz refrsh to
read:
HSync = "30-65"
VRefresh = "50-70"

Save configuration and start X via command "startx"!
With these settings you get the bonus that the docking station works also
(I have a 17"monitor and with 1280x1024 it is beautiful)!


Good Luck,
Eric


I have tried to get the X server working on my 770X and 770 (pre X).  I am
still new to this.  I don't think I am getting all the installation
details.  I stop the X server and it seems to have stopped with the audio.
Can't I just bring up the X server in a mode without audio or the exact
right video?  With the 770 (pre X model) the install program detects the
video chip and is happy.  It is not happy with the monitor type.  I have
tried replacing the SVGA X server and XF86config.  Do I have to swap out
all those files on Bill's page for the X server to work?
