xf86configForum: System Topic: xf86config started by: N-DEE Posted by N-DEE on Mar. 26 2006,06:51
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 Posted by Gatu on Mar. 31 2006,19:42
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 :-) Br, Gatu Posted by mikshaw on Mar. 31 2006,20:54
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.

I am adding XF86config for that old version 3.?? that used touchscreen (just found and uncompressed the backup).If you need the binaries of the driver please advice or anything else from this backup just advice!

Hello, I think in one week I will be installing DSL in a small toshiba libretto 50m, the version with touchscreen. Should I need to start looking for certain drivers for its touchscreen ? Thanks. I'm a n00b with touchscreens. Thanks.
