Hi All.
I'm kinda new to this with linux on laptops
and having problems getting X
to work. Does anyone want to share their
XFree86 configfile?
I got XFree86 4.2.0 and running debian.
Btw, in the console
I can´t see all the screen. I
tried with diffrent
textmodes, non of them solve the problem.

Hi, I am running Xfree86 4.2
under debian woody. Attached you'll find
my configfile. (XF86Config-4.text)
You should also get the new and accellerated
driver
from http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/
Please note that due to the 'keyboard
bug', you'll have to get accessX
from http://www.rehab.uiuc.edu/accessx/freewareaccessx.html
and put
the following things in your .xsession
or so:
ax +bouncekeys
ax -timeout
ax bouncedelay 10

There are others as well.
You can disable the xkb extension in
your XF86Config[-4] file (if necessary use
xmodmap to set your
favorite keys). Or you can add a minor kernel
patch for raw
kbd mode. |

BTW I prefer a disabled Xkb-extension
together with a private modmap,
since I was not satisfied by the accessX-solutions
(after the keyboard
bug disapeared the key repetition was strange).
But it was quite easy to
start X with Xkb-extension (in my case for
a German keyboard), do a
short xmodmap -pke >/tmp/xmodmap.xkb,
leave X as soon as possible (the
keyboard bug can be very annoying ;-) afterwards.
You can then replace
the Xkb stuff in XF86Config-4 by
Option "XkbDisable" "true"
and put the xmodmap at a position, where
your xinitrc will automatically
load it (/etc/X11/Xmodmap in my case, running
Debian Woody).
I think, I also appended the lines
! Modifiers
remove mod1 = Alt_R
add mod3 = Mode_switch
manually to the /etc/X11/Xmodmap.
