hi,
i'm using xfree86 4.2 on netbsd 1.6, and my computer is a standard
lifebook 530t. i ran the autoconfig and the c&t adapter was found just
fine, but when i startx the computer just hangs. the last message in the
log is "chips(0): bad v_bios checksum followed by "chips(0): primary
v_bios segment is 0xc000". this happens shortly after loading module
"int10", which i believe is a vga mode. what exactly is that needed for
when my config is set up for 800x600@24bpp? anyway, the screen seems to
be in text mode still, since i do have a block cursor present in the top
left corner. i can't do anything a this point, not shut down the
x-server, not switch to a virtual console or anything. i found a config
file for a lifebook 555 which i borrowed the sync and modelines from,
but that didn't help.
the error i get seems to suggest there's something wrong with my bios
settings, but there aren't that many options to be set in the bios
setup. the docs for xfree86 talk about diabling caching and so on, but i
don't have that option. my bios says "video bios shadowed" during
startup, but i can't change that either. any ideas?
so, anyway, below is my xconfig. if somebody is using a 500 series
lifebook, perhaps you could email me your config so i can check for
differences?
(in case you're wondering, graphics are working just fine in win95, so i
don't simply have a broken computer) :-)
thanks a lot,
