Trying to correctly configure X
Hi everybody,
I just found out about this list and hope that somebody can help
me. (I have been asking questions on the debian-user list, and have
received much help, but still am having difficultly.)
I have an IBM Thinkpad 390E in which I have installed Debian
2.1. I am struggling to configure X Windows. This weekend I managed to
get a screen and a GUI interface, but I can't get my resolution any better
than (what appears to be something like) 320 X 240!!! I have a 14.1 inch
TFT screen capable of 1024 X 768 (XGA) at something like 60 Hz (at
least when I am in Windows). I have a NeoMagic 256AV video card in the
machine that I believe has about 2.5 meg of memory.
Can anyone give me some advice regarding how to configure X? What
resolution should I be setting, what X server should I be picking, and
how many colors? I have tried configuring X about 20 times now
and either get a poor image, or don't get a screen at all. I hope someone
out there (maybe with the same type of computer as mine) can lead me out
of the darkness.
Much Thanks!
Bryan Walton
