Re: NeoMagic 128 ZV support on Thinkpad 380D
Thanks for the tip.
Evidently I'm being betrayed by the chips themselves: I can't convince the
xserver to believe the panel can go any higher than 800x600, and my
XF86Config makes no mention of an LCD panel anywhere. I can only assume the
driver is clever enough to ask the chip what it's connected to.
Oh well... :)
Kind regards,
Michael
