Subject: Toshiba Satellite 2210CDT XF86 setup nightmare.

I've been working on setting up my Toshiba Satellite 2210CDT with RH6.2. The
setup went smooth and I've since (in the past week) upgraded the kernel to
2.4.0-test11. Not a problem.
The problem has been setting up the X environment. The 2210 CDT uses the
Trident Cyber9525/DVD Chipset (XF86_SVGA) and has the following stats:
hsync: 31.5 - 37.8
vsync: 60
Clocks: 12 - 230 (not probed)
RAM 2.5M
If I use a plain vanilla, "Generica VGA" setup for the card and monitor, I
end up with an 8bpp 320x204 display in X.
Nothing else I've done so far has managed to work.
Currently, I have Framebuffer compiled into the kernel, X is linked to
XF86_SVGA. When I startx the server seems to start normally, but the screen
then goes blank. Switching terminals (ctrl+alt+F#) results in nothing until
I get to F7. F7 shows a quick flash of a perfect (albeit slightly offset) X
Desktop, but quickly disappears.
I have seen the message:
Xlib: connection to " :0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
and also a message about xscreensaver using (nobody/nobody)
Any attempt to upgrade to XFree86 4.0.1 has met with disaster, requiring me
to restore my original settings and move on.
ANY help would be appreciated since "xf86config" and
"Xconfigurator --expert" and "XF86Setup" have all failed me.I learned a lot,
but obviously not enough! I've tried untold numbers of different "prebuilt"
XF86Config files for the 2210, but none have worked yet.
Thanks in advance to all who can offer any help.
