X and Fluxbox :: xfree86 (HD Install)



Quote (Guest @ Oct. 29 2004,05:02)
I'm glad people liked my help, it's always nice :)
Also Shaft, if you want 16-bit in 800x600 you can't because of the limitation of vram, but you can run in 800x570 with 16-bit colour ;) Once I fix up a problem I got with the laptop right now, I'll send you my exact XF86Config-4 file. Sorry Les, I'm not sure on that are you logging in as dsl or root?

Did anyone ever get that config file???

Is it just as simple as changing the config to say 800x570 rather than 800x600?


Thanks, with this info I'll have the thing licked.  This stuff is soooo cool.
I am extremely sorry I didn't post sooner! :(

But here is the xfree86 config file:

Awesome!  Thank you MistaEd!  It lookse so purty now.

Just one thing... I have a strange anomoly in my screen.  There is a column on the right hand side of the screen about 20 pixels (estimate) that my mouse pointer "warps through"   The screen is drawn correctly, and windows show up in that column, but when I go to put my mouse in that area, it sorta 'pops out' and misses the area completely, almost as if it's passing 'under' that section of screen.

Wierd eh?  It's not a big issue right now, cuz I just so happy the screen looks 'normal'.

Thanks again.
Sorry if this is dregging up a dead topic, but I'd like to thank everyone for the information and ask if a solution to the jumping mouse problem has been found, my latitude Xpi with a p100 is doing the same thing, and I'm seeing what might work.
Yes I had this problem too, I figured out you need to set lilo to have vga=791 (I think, search the forums for a listing to double-check) in it for 800x600x8bit and everything's peachy.
