Dear mika and friends,
As y ou can see from the attached, I have 3d working.
I cheated - since the xorg log error was "unable to find screen" I took
my working file from grml 7 and simple copied it.
The differences are:
Working:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
# ModelName "Old Monitor (no DDC)"
Option "DPMS" "true"
# HorizSync 28.0 - 78.0 # Warning: This may fry very old
Monitors
# HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0 # Warning: This may fry old Monitors
HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0
# VertRefresh 50.0 - 76.0 # Very conservative. May flicker.
# VertRefresh 50.0 - 60.0 # Extreme conservative. Will flicker.
TFT default.
VertRefresh 50.0 - 60.0

### Available Driver options are:
## sw_cursor is needed for some ati and radeon cards
# Option "sw_cursor"
# Option "hw_cursor"
# Option "NoAccel"
# Option "ShowCache"
# Option "ShadowFB"
# Option "UseFBDev"
# Option "Rotate"
## xorg + nvidia:

# Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Identifier "Card0"
# The following line is auto-generated by grml-x

## Workaround for drivers which send output to wrong device:
# Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, AUTO"
# Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT"
# Option "MonitorLayout" "NONE, STV"
# Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS"

Since the screen is correctly identified in the non-working file as
1920x1200, which is in fact the current and functioning resolution, and
the olny other difference appears to the the default bit depth, I am
perplexed.
However, there is definitely a speed improvement over 7. Also, I fixed
the time zone issue with brute force, by deleting every reference in
every /etc file I could find - works fine now....
Thus, we have linux for sysadmins and one rock ape - martin...
note also, I am using the ati 28 drivers and kernel-module.
Now, if the hsf driver works, I am in business.
Thanks for all the help, hard work, and sheer brilliance.
Gruesse aus NY,
M
