I just got a "Great Quality" (Fry's house brand) laptop on sale for $400, and it also has the VIA S3G Uni- Chrome graphics chip. It's a great little machine, but I can't get X windows going to save my life. Even the VGA driver comes up all smeared across the screen. The VESA driver can't find a mode to drive it and gives up. The VIA driver also doesn't like it, hanging up with the text mode screen still showing until I switch to a different virtual console and back, at which point I see: VGA BIOS image is wrong!! CheckSum = 53403a X in free (); error: page is already free X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or shutdown). I can send a complete log if someone thinks it will help. Otherwise, most things work on this machine. ACPI works! The VIA CPU runs fine. snd_via8233 runs the VIA8235 sound chip perfectly. The vr driver handles the VIA VT6102 ethernet port. The four USB 1.0 ports work without difficulty. But I can't talk to the PCTel HSP56 MR modem (doesn't work with the ltmdm port). On another issue, I have a USB numeric keypad. When I attach it, thanks to devd.conf, it takes the place of the main keyboard. This is great as long as I just want to enter commands like "789". Is there some kbdcontrol mode which wouls accept input from both the main keyboard and the USB numeric keypad at the same time? Many thanks to the people on this list go give us all the answers! -- George Mitchell
