Works great for me on an HP OmniBook 4150B. | I'm using XFree86 4.2, FYI. And on my Dell as well. But it *is* true that X -configure doesn't work. I recommend checking the "Linux for Laptops" page and finding somebody with the same machine and getting an XF86Config from there. I send you mine if you want, but it's only right if you have a 1400x1050 display. And I have an ATI RAGE Mobility 128, too, which uses a different driver (mg?) from the usual one (ati?). I'm being lazy and going on memory here. -- Brian, the man from Babble-On . . . . bts@babbleon.org (personal) http://www.babbleon.org http://www.eff.org http://www.programming-freedom.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
