XF86Config & Digital HiNote VP520 Laptop



Has anyone successfully set up X windows on a Digital HiNote VP520
laptop?  I got the laptop second hand; the manual has no technical info
(and Compaq, which bought Digital, has no specs whatsoever on their web
site).  Thus, I have no clue re horizontal and vertical sync rates.
(The VP520 has a NeoMagic MagicGraph 128V video card, 60 mhz).  Using
x86config I can get X to run under a variety of configurations (VGA,
SVGA, Extended SVGA; various horizontal and vertical sync rates, various
video ram settings (the unhelpful manual  suggests the machine has a
meg) BUT I cannot get the SVGA driver to run, only the -16 driver AND
the X screen does not fill the monitor (there's a 1.5 - 2 in. black
border surrounding the image).  Editing the "virtual" line in the config
file doesn't seem to help.  One last thing:  the same sort of thing
occurs when I do a fresh install of win95:  the screen image doesn't
fill the screen - until I install a NeoMagic video driver (VOHNV519.EXE
NeoMagic V5.08) supplied by Digital.

Any help would b greatly appreciated.
