Thinkpad 560, got debian 2.1 up, need to replace XF86 to get 800X600 ???
Hello,
Yesterday I got the distribution up, after coping the CD #1 over
to my C: in Win95, and copying the files in each "binary-all" that
ral, replacing the 0K ones in "binary-i386" to satisfy install. I
was underway, and did not see the post about the "dselect" overrides,
but my strategy worked.
I have read many pages about XFree86, and the Thinkpad 560, but
I can't get 800x600. I suspect that I must upgrade to a LATER
XF86. I even built the "set_DSTN_size" program, but when I run
it, it mentions a note that it doesn't work on 3.3.2A (I think).
I think the XF86 that I have up from the CD is 3.3.2.3a.
Does it make sense for me to try to go right to 3.3.5 ??
Again this is a 800x600, dual scan 560.
Also, I have never been able to use the CTRL-ALT-PLUS_ON_KEYPAD
and CTRL-ALT-MINUS_ON_KEYPAD as even on Win95 I can't get the
numeric keypad keys to work. (They are overlayed on the regular
keyboard, (U=4, I=5, O=6, etc).
Anyway, if I should avoid upgrading to 3.3.5, or I am missing
something, I would appreciate any information.
Thanks,
John
