Will Hamm X work with Cirrus 7548 chip?

[Matthew Ando <ando@math.jhu.edu>]

Hello,

I have an old laptop (Samsung sens 810) with a Cirrus 7548 chip.
It ran XFree I believe 3.2 fine on Red Hat 4.1.

I recently upgraded to Hamm, and now I get the message

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to xserver
xinit:  No such process (errno 3): server error.

I get this error with /etc/X11/Xserver pointing to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA and using my old XF86Config, which worked
fine under RH4.1/XF 3.2?.  I also got this line with /etc/X11/Xserver 
pointing to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_VGA16 and a quick&dirty low-level
XF86Config generated by xf86config.

I am not running gpm.

XFree does not complain that there are no valid modes.

Does anybody have any suggestions?  Is it possible that support
for the Cirrus 7548 is broken?  I tried using the line

Chipset "clgd5428"

or something like that that I used to use under XFree 3.1.x, in the
days before the 7548 was supported.  It didn't help.


TIA,

Matthew Ando
