Do you know whether your patched > Xserver may also work with the Mobility-M1 chipset, or it is only valid > for the Mobility-P? I don't know. It may already by supported by XFree86 3.3.5. Even if it's not, it may be simple to get the Mach64 server working for it, *IF* it is sufficiently compatible with the other chips. For example, getting XFree86 3.3.5 to "work" with the Mobility-P was a simple matter of getting the X server to recognize the Mobility-P as a Mach64 chip. [ Well, the 3.3.5 X server does not, of course, work perfectly with the Mobility-P, but it seems to work well enough. I can live with the problems I've seen so far, and so I can wait for real Mobility-P support in a future XFree86 release. ] -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
