I now have a wonderful, stable, non-flickering 1400x1050 screen. The Mobility-P support in the XFree86 codebase is miserable, however. I'd strongly suggest that investing in a copy of Xig's Laptop X will make you a happy camper; it's a crime to have such a nice display perform so poorly. (not that Xig's server is without its own problems, but it works OK and performs well). -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
