Hello, I'm running 5.4 on my shiny new dell inspiron 6000 - there are a few things yet to sort out, and one of them is X. Amazing. In winxp it runs at 1280x800, 16bit (I think, or 24? can't remember off-hand, i'd be happy with 8 for the moment!). And it seems I need the i810 Generic driver from xorg. At the moment, I'm working with no xorg.conf at all! I get 800x600, not sure of colour depth. But I really want / need to take advantage of the full screen resolution. I understand I should set things up to run 915resolution on boot, to teach the vbios about 1280x800. But I've yet make or find an xorg.conf that even gives me a display. Thanks a lot for any help! Thanks, Ben
