Having more woes trying to get X setup on a Thinkpad i1300. To recap:
chip: silicon motion lynxEM+
memory: 2 mb (according to win98se)
Display: 800x600 hpa
System: FreeBSD 4.8-Release
Have not been able to get X configured. The same laptop runs X in Knoppix,
Red Hat 9, Suse 8.2, and now Debian Woody just_fine. In fact, I just
installed Woody in a fit of insanity and I didnt have to mess with
anything, just used debconf--asked me what chip I had and display
characteristics (nothing about frequencies) and when I executed "startx" I
got a nice 8 bit kde desktop.
Now, I have noted that the XF86Config file is in ver 3.x format, not the -4
format. And Freebsd is running XFree86 4.3.0. I dont know if the tools in
use are old, or what the problem is.
