Debian Squeeze and Intel 82830 GC on Thinkpad X30
Evening all,
I've been running Testing on my Thinkpad X30 for a few years now and the
video set up has often to be tweaked - it even worked once with NO
xorg.conf which I believe is the ultimate aim for the developers of
Xorg. That is fine and why we use Testing ;)
I am now having to use a default xorg.conf using vesa but HW
acceleration is next to non existent as is to be expected I think. Flash
player runs about 2 frames a second - even small videos. It used to,
once upon a time, work fine. You can see the commented out "intel
specifics" that were once recommended that dont work with Squeeze.
With NO xorg.conf the laptop wont start : I just see a flickery cursor
in the top left. ctl-alt-f1 etc doesnt switch it back to a working
res/refresh either.
I'm looking for some advice on how I should go about configuring the
xorg.conf. The vesa one that works (slowly and tends to get corrupted after a
few hours usage) is below.
Is there some sort of utility which can create an xorg.conf for me that
works properly with the 82830?
Possibly someone out there has a working xorg.conf for this amazingly
long lived little laptop?
Thanks for your patience and any advice
