X on Tecra 8100 (S3 Savage MX)
I've installed potato on this laptop (Tecra 8100), but I can't get X beyond 16
colour, 680x480.
I've used the XFree patch for the S3 Savage MX (et al) that was cited by a
number of users (refer to http://lisas.de/~david/tsp4270/index.php3) , but I've
gotten nowhere. I can use a framebuffer X server, but I'd prefer not.
X seems to give no indication of what's wrong, its stdout/stderr indicates a
configuration read, the usual probe, and then segfaults. Whether started from
'startx' or invoking 'X' itself, no logging goes to syslog or to any other
file and I don't know how to debug what I'm given.
I've attached the output of `X -probeonly` (which segfaults) as well as my
XF86Config file.
Can anyone...
A) help me get 1024x768, 16-bit X up on my hardware?
or
B) tell me why the standard X configuration tools (xf86config/XSetup) *still*
suck so badly? And how I get modelines and other monitor metrics in a debian
distrib?
Thanks,
Andrew
