Re: Configuring X11R6 with a Gateway PC

Hello, everyone. I have been trying to correctly configure X11R6 with
NetBSD for some time know, but, do to a lack of a manual for my
monitor, there hasn't been much progress. When I ran X for the first
time without configuring it, it worked, but very slowly. I tried to
configure it several times with xf86config, but that screwed it up
more. For one thing, how should I set the horizontal and vertical
sync
ranges correctly? I know the monitor is a Delta DC-770 BA, and (after
much searching) that it has a 30-70 kHz horizontal sync range, and a
50-120 kHz vertical sync range. Also the video card is a STI (S3?)
PowerGraph 64, the computer is a Gateway 2000 P5-100 (Pentium 1, 100
MHz, 16 MB RAM), and it uses a generic PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse.
How can X be configured for this machine? Also, does it usually run
very slowly?

Do you have the latest version of NetBSD installed? And are you using
the version of X in the standard distribution?

If so, move or remove any configuration files you might have created,
login to a text/shell session, and run startx. IIRC it will work
automatically with most hardware. Then exit X session and have a look
at what was left in the log file. It will be something like
/var/log/XFree86.0.log I think. If the log file matches all the
hardware details you expect, X is running about as well as it can.

Cheers,
