Subject: TFT display on Debian GNU/Linux
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2003 17:20:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AKsB3CAKDMU$EwFp@gcbagley.demon.co.uk> (raw)


I have a TATUNG  (Vibrant) VL7A 17" TFT LCD display.

It works very well on SuSE 8.0 Linux at 1280 by 1024 pixels.

SuSE recognizes it and auto-configures.

However, I can't find a way to make it work on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
(Woody).  As you may imagine, it doesn't appear in the list of supported
displays.   I have so far tried vesa, but with no luck.

I can get Mutt,  and also Midnight-Commander to work OK, but I guess
without using  X.

Regards
