I am trying to run either RH6.1 with the 6.2 XFree 3.3.6 packages, or the 6.2 beta on a IBM Thinkpad i1480. I cannot get a synced screen with X no matter what modeline settings I try. I read in an earlier bug that support for the ATI Rage Mobility M chip was going to be in the 6.2 beta. The configurators do probe the chip ok and it uses the Mach64 server, as it should. However, I have yet to get a good screen at any resolution, although 1024x768 is my target, and I have hand-hacked the XF86Config file for hours. Any ideas?
Check out this URL: http://www.staikos.on.ca/~staikos/tp1460/ Someone has patched the server so it works. Something about the clock registers getting screwed up.
I have the exact same problem on a Compaq Armada M700 system !!! I tried everything I could do.. I tried to install SUsE and Caldera, they both gave me a beautiful screen, but I'd really love to have RH running on my laptop.
extensive mobility chipset support has been added for Red Hat Linux 7.0.
