I am reluctant to do that. I'd prefer to get a solution into XFree86.
Someone please try the attached patch against current CVS. It turns Option
"UseBIOSDisplay" (which probably doesn't work for us - no BIOS here...) into
Option "Display" which accepts modes "CRT", "FP", "Mirror" and "BIOS".
Hey Michel,
I've had a heck of a time with this one. Using the new r128_drv.o that
I compile from the CVS HEAD gives me an error that the module is using
a newer ABI than the server...
So I compiled and installed the whole X package from CVS (into
/usr/X11R6-local using ProjectRoot).
Might have been enough to use the new XFree86 binary as well.
I get some strange behavior, namely it doesn't find my .xsession and the
keyboard input is messed up (I have to type '1', 'n', '5', '3', '8') to
type exit<return>.
Do you use Xkb? That can be rather tricky. I have Option "XkbDisable" in the
Keyboard section.
I tried to use my old X configuration and it doesn't work at all,
server just hangs. I figured some configuration files in /etc/X11 must
have gotten stomped by the CVS install of X, so I ran dpkg --remove of
xserver-common and xserver-xfree86, followed by an apt-get install,
but it's still hosed.
We'd need a bit more information here, most importantly the important parts of
XF86Configs and logs.
