sorry duplicate post due to forum error!

first - only the free ati driver will work

did you load the following modules: radeon, drm - did you corect the DRM / DRI problem?

and I need the Xorg.0.log - just the messages beginning with (EE) or (WW)

Thanks, yes been through all the procedures in the guides, but I have kind of fixed it. All I wanted was rid of the tiny screen and 800x600 display. I'm still running the Vesa Driver but managed to increase the resolution by adding some HorizSync and VertRefresh Lines to my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
HorizSync 28-90
VertRefresh 43-85
#Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hs
#Option "PreferredMode" "1024x768_60.00"
EndSection


paul@slitaz:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 512 x 350, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 85.0*
800x600 86.0
640x480 86.0
640x350 86.0
512x384 0.0

When I add in the Radion driver slim fails to stat (but might be because no valid screens can be found). I'll take a look further at the error log later, but as I say I only wanted full use of the screen.

This works with ATI rage2c and 3D rage pro no 3D attempted but max resolution and DPMS works:

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root
In device section I add # in front of line Driver vesa
Underneath add line: Driver mach64
Save and verify changes
CtrlAltBackspace to kill Xserver
Login as root pw root
Type: slim
Enter

Thanks! That worked a treat. On a roll now, even got my webcam working too. Like bringing old hardware back into play.

Not thanks to SlitaZ now have a very usuable Compaq Armada with 256MB RAM and can even use Firefox (once adblock and flashblock extensions are installed)

Can confirm that DPMS is working now too.
