Which Xfree86 config. files?


Hello,

I've installed etch on an older mac powerbook. During setup I chose the ATI driver and refresh rate, the default 75 mtz. This did not work. Now I need to tinker with my settings. Which Xfree86 config file should I be editing to reset the video specs?

BTW- an lspci shows the video card as:

VFA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc. Rage Mobility M3
AGP 2x (rev.2)

Any help much appreciated.

The config file can be found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

That is what etch uses. Xfree is only in sarge/stable, and soon will (thankfully) be completely removed from the Debian tree.

Peace,
JimBass
