Thanks for the info, Andy. I didn't realize that Compaq was already using different chipsets. That is always a problem with Compaq laptops. The configuration filet that I sent works with the LM chipset. Gerardo, as Andy and I both said, send us a dmesg and/or scanpci, if the configuration file doesn't work. ed Quoting Andy Sparrow <spadger@best.com>: > > Please post a dmesg. > > Then we can tell you whether the help Edwin tried to give you (with the > config > file) or the help I tried to give you (advising that a Radeon M6 requires > XFree86-4.1.99 from www.XFree86.org's CVS server later than Nov) is the > appropriate path to follow. > > > FYI, the chipid is the model of the graphics chipset, and this can be seen > from either 'dmesg' output or a 'scanpci'. > > The Radeon M6 is aka the LY. > > Therefore, an LY is 0x4c59, and this *requires* support from XFree86.org.
