Re: Another stuck amigan
I've just tried it with 4 colour depth, seill gives
the same error:
fbdevscreeninit: unable to set screen params (invalid
arguement)
I know it says that you should give the full server
out put but i cant find where the hell it logs it too,
ive tried /var/log/ and some other X related places :(
By the way the XF86Config was there I sent it as an
attachment, I can see the mail I sent list which has
been sent back from the list, anyway, if you like long
emails here it is in its full glory:

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard,
modify the

for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# XkbModel "pc102"

use:
# XkbModel "microsoft"

setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# XkbLayout "de"

# XkbLayout "de"
# XkbVariant "nodeadkeys"

capslock and

# XkbOptions "ctrl:swapcaps"

I already looked at /usr/share/doc/xserver-fbdev, the
example wasn't "overly" helpful, it was geared more
towards monitors.
But the readme give me some ideas, I tried the above
with 4 colours and also with Mode "Default" as
suggested, still doesn't work :(
