Help with X
I'm having some trouble setting up X on a Debian 2.1 machine. I've run xf86config and answered all the questions correctly, however X insists on coming up in 320x204 resolution, when I specifically told it to use only 1024x768 or 800x600. Here is the output when I start the server...
(--) SVGA: PCI: SiS Unknown Chipset (0x20) rev 104, Memory @ 0xe100000, 0xe1400000, I/O @xe000
(--) SVGA: chipset: generic
(**) SVGA: videoram: 4096k
(--) SVGA: clocks: 25.18
(**) SVGA: 16bpp not supported for this chipset
*** A configured device found, but display modes could not be resolved.***
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I know that my hardware is capable of 16bpp and 1024x768, because i've had it running at that with TurboLinux 4.0. When using TurboLinux' x configuration tool, my chipset (SiS 5598) was listed, however using xf86config under Debian it wasn't, so I had to use the generic SiS chipset.
Any help would be most appriciated. Thank You.
Cain.
