Internal RFE bug #144102 entered; will be considered for future releases. Andrew can you attach the modelines you added in extramodes and your xorg.conf Created attachment 109338 [details]
XFree86 config file
RHEL, so XFree86 rather than X.org config file
Created attachment 109340 [details] extramodes file Generated with the online XFree86 modeline generator at http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl I've also tried Robert Shearman's modeline for a similar issue in Fedora (bug #122739, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=105973&action=view) but neither work. I noticed from bug #122739 that Bastien Nocera at Red Hat has a very similar laptop to mine (Vaio S1XP vs S2XP, we have one of each here but the older one is a M$ box), which seems to be working with Fedora, but he's not posted his known good modeline. Could you try this one: Modeline "1280x800@60" 83.91 1280 1312 1624 1656 800 816 824 841 which Flo in #122739 reports to work. Created attachment 110349 [details]
new XF86Config
(deadlock is the name of the machine)
Tried with the suggested modes and it still doesn't work.
(I changed the HorizSync and VertRefresh from the default for my current
XF86Config so I can get to 1024x768)
I also made the changes in extramodes, but this mode still dowsn't show up in
redhat-config-xfree86 either.

X log
Here's the X log for the new set-up.
Could you try manually changing the "Device" section to use the radeon driver, like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "radeon" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "Mobility Radeon 9600 M10" EndSection and see if this still causes lockups? 'fraid so. I'm considering RHEL 4 WS: do you have any idea if that would be better, given that it's X.org rather than XFree86? Yes, I would expect RHEL 4 to work better. At least one person reports successfully running Xorg on a Sony Vaio S2XP in 1200x800. Xorg in RHEL 4 does work fine with this system. |
