hi robert,

thank u for your fast reply !

in the vesa mode: we only have 800x600 and bigger ones ...
;-)

we can-t solve that problem without loading the XFree86 ( mydsl-load XFree86.dsl)

Is there a possibility to get an 1280x960 16bit with 85hz ? (19-inch CRT)
For a frugal-install ?

We only have a 79-MB-HDD ... ( it-s funny - but seriosly )

wishes from the classics pc-builders-group South to Australia !

You can certainly setup XFree86.dsl in a frugal environment.
I not sure how to answer your configuration question.
I rarely use XFree anymore. Also, I did not put together this extension. I have used the extension in a frugal setup to help a friend who has an i810 and it worked well. He already had a XF86Config-4 from a prior distro.

Maybe this can help-
I happen to have a few xf86config-4 files that I've
been saving against the day I might need them.
This one was marked i810, and because I've never had
one of these cards, I can't really say if it works.

But you can follow the instructions in the Xfree86.dsl
info file and find out.....
It seems funny that it has no modelines as such.

Well - back,
in the mydsl-download-extension-panel:

1. Change /home/dsl/.xserverrc to: exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp ****(copy included in /home/dsl/XFree86_config_files)*****
2. CREATE a /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
----------------------end of lines ....

Well - i did: create
part2.: path: etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ....well but

part-1. I can-t understand the meaning of these lines . . . ! ???

My question: in which file at boot-up is damn-small looking at for xsetup.sh / like xorg.conf ???? the name ? and the path ??
which name has this file to have ? Xfree86 ??? (i need the right name of the file- i just created ....)
