slowly Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I need your help to configure xfree86 for my laptop (Dell inspiron 2600). I am not sure what the horizontal frequency is for the lcd panel. Could someone guide me through the xf86config process? My laptop uses the 830m chipset ( which is supported as i810 in xfree86). The display is 1024 x 768. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowly Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 I managed to fix the problem! I reflashed my bios with an older version, and now xfree works. Hopefully this helps other dell laptop owners. (I have an inspiron 2600, and use bios "a3", rather than "a9".) Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
