Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 16:05:41 +0800 X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I would appreciate any advice that I can get on my XF86Config file. I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2/PAO on an old Toshiba T2400CS, which I am presuming contains a ct65545 video chip. I can get Xfree 86 running, but only using the VGA16 Xserver, I would like to get the SVGA server running in 800x600 mode if possibel with at least 256 colours. I am a little new to Xfree 86, any advice would be appreciated, such as the syntax of XF86Config and how to change modes. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen Cooper [SMTP:stephenc@parang.alphawest.com.au] > Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 1997 3:49 PM > To: stephen.cooper@alphawest.com.au > Subject: > > # XF86Config for Toshiba T2400CS, modified from > http://www.santafe.edu/~nelson/versa-linux/XF86Config > > Section "Files" > RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" > # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" > # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" > EndSection > # > ********************************************************************** > # Server flags section. > # > ********************************************************************** > Section "ServerFlags" > > EndSection > > # > ********************************************************************** > # Input devices > # > ********************************************************************** > > # > ********************************************************************** > # Keyboard section > # > ********************************************************************** > > Section "Keyboard" > Protocol "Standard" > AutoRepeat 500 5 > LeftAlt Meta > RightAlt ModeShift > EndSection > > # > ********************************************************************** > # Pointer section > # > ********************************************************************** > > Section "Pointer" > Protocol "PS/2" > Device "/dev/mouse" > # /dev/mouse is symlinked from /dev/psm0 > EndSection > > # > ********************************************************************** > # Monitor section > # > ********************************************************************** > > Section "Monitor" > > Identifier "C&T Laptop" > VendorName "C&T" > ModelName "Cirrus Vision" > Bandwidth 110 > HorizSync 20-64 > VertRefresh 25-140 > ModeLine "800x600" 28.3 800 816 856 920 600 600 601 618 > ModeLine "1024x768" 65 1024 1064 1208 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync > -vsync > ModeLine "800x600" 65.0 800 840 920 1064 600 600 602 636 > Modeline "640x480" 28.3 640 664 760 800 480 491 493 525 > EndSection > > # > ********************************************************************** > # Graphics device section > # > ********************************************************************** > > # Standard VGA Device: > > Section "Device" > Identifier "Generic VGA" > VendorName "Unknown" > BoardName "Unknown" > Chipset "generic" > EndSection > > Section "Device" > Identifier "Laptop" > VendorName "Chips & Technology" > BoardName "Cirrus Vision" > Chipset "ct65545" > VideoRam 1024 > EndSection > > # > ********************************************************************** > # Screen sections > # > ********************************************************************** > > # The Colour SVGA server > > Section "Screen" > Driver "svga" > Device "Laptop" > Monitor "C&T Laptop" > Subsection "Display" > Depth 8 > Modes "1024x768" "800+600" "800x600" "704x600" "640x480" > ViewPort 0 0 > Virtual 0 0 > EndSubsection > Subsection "Display" > Depth 16 > Modes "640x480" "800x600" > ViewPort 0 0 > Virtual 800 600 > EndSubsection > Subsection "Display" > Depth 32 > Modes "640x400" > ViewPort 0 0 > Virtual 640 400 > EndSubsection > EndSection > > # The 16-color VGA server > > Section "Screen" > Driver "vga16" > Device "Generic VGA" > Monitor "C&T Laptop" > Subsection "Display" > Modes "640x480" "800x600" > ViewPort 0 0 > Virtual 800 600 > EndSubsection > EndSection > > # The Mono server > > Section "Screen" > Driver "vga2" > Device "Generic VGA" > Monitor "C&T Laptop" > Subsection "Display" > Modes "640x480" "800x600" > ViewPort 0 0 > Virtual 800 600 > EndSubsection > EndSection > > # The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, > Mach64) > > Section "Screen" > Driver "accel" > Device "Laptop" > Monitor "C&T Laptop" > Subsection "Display" > Depth 8 > Modes "640x480" "800x600" "808x600" "1024x768" > ViewPort 0 0 > Virtual 1152 900 > EndSubsection > Subsection "Display" > Depth 16 > Modes "640x480" "800x600" > ViewPort 0 0 > Virtual 800 600 > EndSubsection > Subsection "Display" > Depth 32 > Modes "640x400" > ViewPort 0 0 > Virtual 640 400 > EndSubsection > EndSection
