 |
|
Hi,
First of all I read almost all article about my problem, but non of them helped...
About my setup:
IBM ThinkPad T23 type: 2647-NG6 (the lspci -v thinks: 2647-4MG)
S3 SuperSavage IX/C SDR (rev 05)
XFree 4.2.1-r2
The problem:
If I don't include the Option "UseBIOS" "off", X does not start (Caught signal 4., XIO: Fatal IO error 104). If I include that option, I get a black screen, and the system locked, I have to power down and reboot.
Could someone help me out, PLEASE!!!
I can include my XF86Config file, but I have to type it by hand (...)
Thank you in advance! |

The problem now solved!!
If you have such a problem, visit Tim Roberts's page
www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html
You have to replace all the 3 files mentioned in the page...
The files can be found in the xf42sav-26t.tgz archive.
savage_drv.o -> /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
libvbe.a -> /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
libint10.a -> /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux
Thanks Tim!!! |

Newer ebuilds for Xfree already include Tom's drivers.

Ah, I found "thinkpad buttons", just emerge tpb, this nice tool gives you an on screen display when you press volume up/down, and let's you also control those extra-keys. Now when I push "thinkpad", mozilla ist started |
