Scott Emmons) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Help with XFree86 on Compaq QVISION in 1024x768 mode Date: 27 Oct 1995 23:56:26 GMT Organization: U.S. Computer Services Research Center, El Dorado Hills, CA Lines: 27 Distribution: world Message-ID: <SCOTTE.95Oct27165626@odie.center.uscs.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: odie.center.uscs.com Has anyone succesfully gotten 1024x768x8 mode to work with a Compaq QVISION video adapter and XFree86. I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5. Based on what I could gather from ".ini" files from my windoze setup, a configuration for this card with horiz = 57 and vert = 72 is used. The monitor is configured for horiz = 31.56-57.0 and vert = 50.0-90.0. This hardly seems like a particularly weird configuration to me, but it just flat out doesn't work, no matter what values I stick in my XF86Config file. The best I can do is 800x600x8 or just a blank screen. Is somebody going to have to write a special driver for this card? I found no mention of specific support for it in any of the usual places... If anyone has gotten this beast to work I'd greatly appreciate any help or advice that anyone can offer. Thanks! -Scott -- __________________________________________________________________________ L.
