I, perhaps foolishly, have transformed my brother's Toshiba 2515CDS
Satellite into a RedHat 6.1 box. It all works! except for, naturally, X.
Here's the story:
2515CDS Toshiba Satellite.
The video chip is a Chips & Tech 69000, with 2 MB RAM. This chip is
supported under XFree86 3.3.3. I believe I have XFree86 3.3.5, so that
should work.
The screen is your typical LCD screen. I have NO idea what the refresh
rate is, save only that another laptop in the house that's still running
Windows can manage 800x600 16bpp with no problem.
Right now, when I load X, I get a teensy screen, that I think ends up being
about 320x400 with 256 colors. (And the fonts are really hideous, but I
hear that's normal.) I've tried running all the startx color depth
switches, but it ends up looking pretty much the same. I've tried cycling
through all the resolutions, but only the 320x400 works. I've tried
XConfigurator, I've tried XF86Config. I've tried setting up my XF86Config
the same as one guy who says on his webpage that he got X to work on the
same model. Nothing helps. I haven't quite yet gotten to exorcism, but
I'm beginning to contemplate it.
please, please, please. I'm a desperate little Linux-user-wannabe. I will
so very gladly provide any further information that might be of any use.
Does *anyone* have any ideas?
Katie
