ANN: XFree86 4.3 unofficial mini HOWTO
Hi
on my laptop (Sony Vaio R600HMK http://mobilix.org/sony_r600hmk.html), I could
not get XFree 4.2.1 running in 1024x768@24, only at 8 bpp. Or I could get it
running in 640x480@24. After fiddling around with some driver binary for the
i830 and a little program which did weird stuff with your memory, I wanted to
try the new 4.3 release. It claimed to have proper support for the i830 shared
memory gfx chip. Since there are no Debian GNU/Linux packages available yet
(January 2003), I have decided to grab the current cvs from XFree86.
This process was now documented by Sebastian Henschel and I have made
some minor additions, see http://mobilix.org/debian_xfree43.html
Your recommendations or criticisms to improve the HOWTO are welcome.
Werner
