I am trying to do a new install on a Hitachi M-Series laptop. I have the base installation loaded, but can't get the X server to run.
Hitatchi says the V Freq for all resolutions is 60 Hz, and provides no additional information. The card is a Cirrus CL-GD7543, which is detected as having dotclocks of 40 at a depth of 8. There is 1 Mb VRAM. When I go through XF86Setup after clicking Done and Okay, the text screen (not the GUI text screen) blinks on and off, and Ctrl-Alt-Bsp does nothing. When I use xf86config I get "Attempting to start server... _X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect errno=111", and then it goes to a black screen with two orange horizontal lines, roughly at 1/3s of the screen. C-A-Bsp will terminate the X server. Starting X > file 2>&1 gives a listing of ModeLines, all saying the hsync is not large enough and the screen deleted, then says no screens found. If I increase hsync (it sets it at 31.5-55 by default), the screen for which I changed it isn't deleted, but it still won't start, and still says no screens found. I have been through the XF86HOWTO and the XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO, but I feel that I'm missing some data from Hitachi (like Hsynch). Any help would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ Scott Thomas (704) 544-7071 711.Net, Inc. http://www.711.net Rated-G Online http:/www.ratedg.com "The Pioneer in Filtered Internet Services"
