I liberated a Toshiba Tecra 700CT laptop from my mom's work, and put Red Hat 7 on it from an old CD I had. It worked great until I installed Slackware Linux 9 on it. I'm in the process of configuring X on it, and it's not going well. The laptop has a screen that will do 800x600 in 16-bit color. I configured X using xf86config. I wasn't quite sure what to put for horizontal and vertical frequencies, so I selected Extended SVGA as the horizontal frequency and 50-70 as the vertical frequency, or something like that. The screen went all garbled when I tried to start X. I tried all kinds of other settings, and I tried every Toshiba 800x600 ModeLine that I could find, but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert
