The VGA-16 log report:
=========================================================================
Configured drivers:
VGA16: server for 4-bit colour VGA (Patchlevel 0):
et4000, et4000w32, et4000w32i, et4000w32p, ncr77c22, ncr77c22e,
vgawonder, tvga8800cs, tvga8900b, tvga8900c, tvga8900cl, tvga9000,
oti067, oti077, oti087, cl6410, cl6412, cl6420, cl6440, generic
MONO: server for interlaced and banked monochrome graphics adaptors
(Patchlevel 0):
hgc1280, sigmalview, apollo9, hercules
=========================================================================
It seems that hercules MONO should be supported. Maybe, this requires
some unknown command switch of a new entry in the XF86Config.
Try "X -help": you will got a lot of parameter (yes, X acts as standard
command!). Try, for example "X -probeonly".
We have also the option "-allowMouseOpenFail". Should I enable it
as default??
My XF86Config lack of MONO support. Try adding something like:
===============================================
# The Mono server
Section "Screen"
Driver "vga16"
Device "Generic VGA"
Monitor "My Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
Modes "640x480" "800x600"
ViewPort 0 0
Virtual 800 600
EndSubsection
EndSection
===============================================
at the end of XF86Config.in file (please, trials-and-errors).
Report me your results.
Michele
