X and Fluxbox :: xf86config

I did a frugal install of 2.3RC2 and want to have xfree86 running on a Palmax PD-1100.
This little thingy has touchscreen (supported by xfree) and National Semiconductor (Cyrix) Media GXm chipset (also supported).

My problem is that I can't find a config-file for that one on the net.
But I found a file called xf86config.dsl
When I start it nothing happens. Any tipps ?
(as easy as possible please, since I'm totally new to linux)

thanx
Andy

Hi N-Dee,

I also own a Palmax PD1100. For using the tochscreen there is some special input-driver for XFree needed. I think that for the DSl X-server (K-drive) this does not exist. Before using DSL I did some experiments with Debian 3.0 and with gentoo. At least on one of them this was working, however only with an quite old XFree-version (3.6 or something similar. However in my impresion it did not work so well, also I did not like the touchscreen too much, so I dropped this.
Beside the touchscreen most things work well on dsl, only drawback: The DMA acceleration does not work, on trying to switch on there is an error message. However with other distributions/kernels it worked, so the hardware seems to support it.

If you have any more questions on the PD1100 - just feel free to ask me :-)

How did you start xf86config? It's a shell script, which means that it will need to be run in console or x terminal. It also requires you to be root in order to use it.

xfree86.dsl is an extension. Moving to proper location for future searching ability.
