Re: Laptop Dell Latitude CPx 650 with Debian Potato 2.2



I don't have a dell, but I do use X4 and an Ati-mobility.

Note that in my X4 setup, I didn't need any modeline settings like I did in x3.  X4 detected everything.  Here's my XF86Config

btw, with X4, try XFree86 --configure, then look in your root home dir for an XF86Config.new.  Try using that too.

(also, I'm off this list now, so email me directly if you need to.)
