I have a weird XFree 86 problem with a portable notebook: Dell Latitude XPi with TFT and P120. (chipset Cirrus CL-GD7543) When I run X (SVGA 3.1.6 with chipset clgd5428), I get a screen 2/5 black. The beginning of the X display is right shifted. The fonts are unreadable. When I try to use the 640x480 server, the font are a bit fuzzy and there is an incremental difference between the displayed pointer and where the mouse is seen on the screen. +------------------+---------------------------------------+ | | | | Black | | | Part | | | | | | | Xterm window | | | | | | | | | | | |---------------------------------------| | | | | | | | | Remaining of the X display | | | | | | .........................| | | \/ ^- some random dots| | | /\.........................| | | ^ | | | |_ pointer | | | | +------------------+---------------------------------------+ ^ ^ | |_ beginning of the X display |_ extrem right end of the X display (width: few dots) I looked at different stuff on the net (including http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/latitude.xpi.html ) without much success. A friend of mine is using a Dell Latitude Xpi with P90 with success. I tried his XF86Config without success. I also tried to use the last XF 3.1.2B SVGA server with clgd7543 chipset. This time the black part is smaller, but the display scrolls continuously like a wrongly tuned TV. I would appreciate any help in that matter.
