Hi there,
I've spent the last two days trying to get X to run on my new Dell C400 laptop
w/ FreeBSD. I was successful in getting X to start in 1024x768x8, but not
higher. I've read that others have been able to get 1024x768x24, and I hope
someone on this list might be able to help me out.
Here's the screen section from my XF86Config:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "* Generic VESA compatible"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
DefaultFbBpp 32
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
FbBpp 32
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
Here's the error message I receive:
Total Memory: 13 64Kb banks (0M)
(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes
(II) UnloadModule: "vesa"
(II) UnloadModule: "ddc"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libint10.a
(II) UnloadModule: "vbe"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvbe.a
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
It seems odd to me that X sees a very small amount of memory: "Total Memory: 13
64Kb banks (0M)". What do I need to do to get X to see more memory? I've patched both i810_drv.o &
agpreg.h w/ the i810diff & i810diff-2 patches.
Here're the complete config, log, & dmesg:

What am I missing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
