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!

Also, did I post this to the right list?  If not, please let me know where
it should go.
