Hi!

This weekend I tried to setup a Toshiba Tecra A3X notebook with NetBSD, but
failed to get anything other than a dark screen when starting the X server.
The X server itself and its client programs are running, only the display
remains dark.

Surprisingly, when attaching an external CRT, I have a picture on it! So I
thought it must have something to do with the horiz. or vert. refresh rate
of the notebook's display. I installed Windows for comparison, and all its
screen modes were using exactly 60 Hz.

The X server is starting in the native resolution of 1024x768 with  59.9 Hz
(according to my CRT). So where is the problem? This video chip is a
82915GM/GMS, which should be supported by the i810 driver (refer to the
attached dmesg).

Does this display require a secret code to be written into some register, to
make it work (only known to Windows)? Anybody else has experience with
Toshiba Tecra notebooks?

FYI, my XF86Config and the XFree86.0.log can be found at:

http://sun.hasenbraten.de/~frank/NetBSD/XF86Config
http://sun.hasenbraten.de/~frank/NetBSD/XFree86.0.log

The log file shows that the correct mode is used:

(--) I810(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024)
(**) I810(0): Built-in mode "1024x768"
[...]
(II) I810(0): Attempting to use 60Hz refresh for mode "1024x768" (54)


Thanks in advance for any hint!
