I recently installed Arch on an old Omnibook Xe2 in order to get SOME functionality out of it. Everything's fine until I decided to set up the X server.
The laptop uses silicon motion graphics and supports 1024x768 with a depth of 24, so I installed the xf86-video-siliconmotion driver.
However, after attempting to set up the Xorg.conf file to properly work with it, I'm greeted by a black screen, and no immediate errors within my xorg log.
Is there a way to get this to work?
Current xorg.conf:
Section "device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "siliconmotion"
Option "HWCurser" "true"
Option "VideoKey" "45000"
Option "UseBIOS" "false"
Option "PanelSize" "1024x768"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
# Option "NoAccel"
