I'm a complete newbie and I'm trying to set up X server on a Toshiba Satellite pro 4620dvd laptop. Everytime I run through xf86cfg or xf86cfg -textmode I get the error message "The XFree86 configuration process seems to have failed. Would you like to try again?" Obviously, this is a bit frustrating. Here are what I think are the valid parts of the XF86Config file, but I may be missing something - please let me know. InputDevice Driver = "mouse" Option = "Protocol" "Auto" Option = "Device" "/dev/sysmous" InputDevice Driver "Keyboard" Option "Skbmode1" "pc101" (note: my laptop only has 85 keys" Option "XkbLayout "us" Monitor HorizSync 31.5-31.5 VertRefresh 50.0-70.0 Card Driver "s3" VendorName "S3 Inc." BoardName "86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV" ChipSet "SuperSavage/IX64" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen Default Depth 8 Display Depth 1 Display Depth 4 Display Depth 8 Modes "640x480" Display Depth 15 Display Depth 16 Display Depth 24 My main questions are: 1) The Toshiba documentation and Web site do not tell me what my internal monitor's horizontal sync or vertical refresh rate is. (although it does give me refresh rates for an external monitor - 60/75/85 @16M colors). Is there a place I can go to find this information? 2) Are there other obvious reasons the configuration would fail other than the monitor? 3) Are there any sites I can visit for more info? Thanks so much! Vaughan Moore Also, did I post this to the right list? If not, please let me know where it should go.
