I have a similar video chipset in my JVC MiniNote, and FC3 was no fun to get set up right on the chip. I've only got a 1024x600 screen, so I at least didn't have to resort to strange tricks to get the laptop's screen to work at full resolution, save for adding a custom modeline. However, power management has been a bear - specifically, suspend and resume and 3D acceleration. On FC3 (updated or stock), any GL application will crash if started after suspend (sometimes taking the X server with it and leaving the machine in a state that requires a reboot, sometimes not). I fixed this under FC3, but I haven't put FC4 on my machine yet. Since you have it on there, does 3D acceleration work after an ACPI suspend/resume cycle on your laptop under Fedora Core 4? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles E.
