RE: Thinkpad 390

["Provost, Stephane" <sprovost@nuera.com>]

I got it to work on my ThinkPad 290, although it has a different CPU, but
the same NeoMagic card.

Here are some excerpts from my XF86Config file:

--8<-- snip --8<--
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "neomagic"
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
        HorizSync       28-49
        VertRefresh     43-72
        Option          "DPMS"
EndSection

--8<-- snip --8<--

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Generic Video Card"
        Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           1
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           4
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           8
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           15
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I use XFree86 v4.1.0.1.

Good luck.

I have a simple problem with my (rather old by now) IBM Thinkpad 390. Well, 
problem or problem, I cannot get my resolution to exceed 800x600.
It is very annoying, since the graphics card should support 1024x768, at 
least since it has 2MB of memory. Not internal, it uses the RAM.

My 390 has the NeoMagic 256 graphics, 32MB ram, and a 200MHz Pentium. If 
this helps anybody to see the answer.

I have edited my config files, so the resolutions above 800x600 shouldn't 
be discarded because of sync rates. There exist modes within the entered 
ranges.

Should the machine be capable of displaying 1024x768, or am I totally wrong?
