[techtalk] Help Needed: Getting X working on Sony laptop

[Davida Schiff]

Samantha,

Use XF86Setup and force the chipset to NM220. Also in options use lcd center
and power save. For display use horizontal sync of 31.5-48.5 and vertical
sync of 55-90. Also specify VRAM. Should work at 16 or 24 bit without
problem.

Sony laptop

		Hi,

			I've read the standard Linux laptop pages and found
the trail to
		XFCom-neomagic X server and such.  But everything I've tried
so far is
		not sufficient for this machine.  It is a Sony PCG-XG18
running a
		NeoMagic MagicMedia 256XL+.  Most of the pre-figured-out
stuff I've seen
		stops at MagicMedia 256AV.  But still I had hopes it was
close enough. 
		If anyone has any ideas or leads they will be greatly
appreciated.

			I would hate to have to return the machine or <gasp>
just run windoze
		on it. 

		thanks.

		- samantha
