Hi,

I'm trying to do an install of XFree86 4.3.0 on an ErgoLite S120CD (AKA the
AP212-08Z). I've got the base of the install apparently OK, but I've got a
problem with the XF86Config.

The laptop uses a Sharp LQ-10DS0T 10.4" TFT screen and has a Chips &
Technologies 65545 Graphics Adaptor. While the 65545 chip exists in the list
of recognised devices, the LQ-10DS0T isn't.

I've tried using a stock LCD 800x600 monitor, to see if that solved it -
which it didn't.

The only vaguely useful bit of information I've found thus far is this PDF
file.

http://www.fujitsu-siemens.co.uk/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/Lifebook/Ergo
Lite/Downloads/S-series.pdf 

I've included the extremely limited documentation about the monitor below, 

Item				Description
Model				Sharp LQ-10DS0T
Type				TFT (Thin Film Transistor Active Matrix)
Outline Dimensions	246.5mm (W) x 179.4mm (H) x 9.5mm (D)
Active Area			211.2mm (H) x 158.4mm (V)
Diagonal size		10.4in
Display format		800 x R.G.B x 600 dots
Dot size			0.264mm (H) x 0.264mm (V)
Rise time			20ms (typical)
Fall time			40ms (typical)
Weight			500g

Even googling for the model, shortened versions of the model and looking on
the Sharp website haven't produced any information about how to configure my
screen.

I know this device worked under Windows, and it still works in text mode,
but it's being built to be used as a wi-fi enabled thin client, so if anyone
has any suggestions, please reply, and I'll summarize.

Regards,

Jon Spriggs
