 Panonic CF-37 Video Woes
Subject description: SiliconMotion driver doesn't work... |
|
I have a Panasonic Toughbook Cf-37 that I'm trying to convert to a fully Puppy driven machine. My biggest hurdle so far has been figuring out whats wrong with the video. I can use XVESA but if I want to use a plain command line I get a lovely garbled output (I'd post a picture but I can't find my camera). I thought switching to Xorg might make a difference, but Xorg won't load or if it does, the mouse rendering is so screwed up that it's almost useless.
The video card is a Silicon Motion SM710 LynxEM. The monitor is an 800x600 LCD with a 60Hz to 75Hz refresh ( i think). If I can get this working I'll move on to the touch screen. THanks in advance.
Here's what my xorg.conf looks like
| Code: | #Special base config file used in Puppy Linux.

After some searching I ended up in many places and now Xorg at least loads.
Places I ended up:
die.net man(4) page
Xfree86 man(4) page
XF86Xonfig(5)
A forum post about a ASUS L7300
A post for the same laptop on the Ubuntu Forums
However, I still have the annoying triple cursor issue. And now instead of a corrupted console after quitting X, there is no console.
my xorg.conf device section now looks like this:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
ChipSet "lynxem"
VendorName "Silicon Motion, Inc."
BoardName "SM710 LynxEM"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "HWCursor" "ON"
Option "UseBIOS" "ON"
Option "NoAccel"
Option "No MTRR"
EndSection
