Installing X on a laptop always seems to give enough fun to fill a whole
weekend, but I finally made it work on a Toshiba 7140 CT, and here's
how:
It is said not to work with X v3, so I installed X 4.0.2 from source
(http://www.xfree.org and mirrors). Some searches on google gave me a
XF86Config-file, but that used a fbdev-driver which seems to depend on a
linux kernelmodule. It does however also work with the toshiba-driver,
but only in 8 bpp 480x360. Including HorizSync and RefreshRate removed
this problem.
So I ended up with the XF86Config file found at
http://fnidder.dk/NetBSD/Toshiba7140CT/XF86Config
and /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc containing:
exec X -depth 16 :0
