Re: need XF86Config for ThinkPad 560
Hi,
Thanks for sending my the config. It worked after I went into XF86Config
and
set the default color depth to 8 bpp. I am getting a small amount of
flicker,
but I don't know how to fix that. I had not seen any flicker before I
reinstalled Linux on this machine. I will make sure I copy the config to a
disk this time :)
I forget which 560 hardware configuration you have. I have the
P100 dual scan and the trident 9832 chipset. I thought that
config file had 8bpp as the default. I'm surprised that it did
not work as is. I recently sent this to someone else, and it
worked for their machine, which must have been the same as mine.
If you come up with a better modeline or entire file, please let me
know. With the modeline I had in that file, the screen is dimmer
than it should be, but I get no flicker. With the other modeline
the screen is bright, even fvwm2 works, but I get flicker. Again
I am not sure if we have the same hardware configuration though.
I can't risk damaging my HW by further experimental tweaking. I
run with the file I sent you, and run wmaker and enlightenment with
no problems. It's just fvwm2 that starts leaving pixels and blocks
behind after a few window drags. Never figured out why.
