10.1 Beta 3 - Quanta monitor drivers missing

I just tried to install Beta 3 on my laptop (Acer Extensa 4100, also known as Travelmate I believe). It requires the Quanta driver for the display (1280x800 LCD), the default LCD values for a 1280x800@60/75Hz don't work - I just get a black screen. I'm currently working through other general settings under Vesa and LCD, but until now I haven't found a single monitor setting which will display anything... Can we please have the Quanta settings back? Dave

Hmm, just checked my desktop with 10.0 and couldn't find the driver either... Currently re-installing 10.0 to see what it defaults to. I'll post an update once I know exactly what is going on... Dave

Ok, SUSE 10.0 re-installed, the driver is QDS QuantaDisplay Monitor... But it looks like the Radeon Mobility X700 just doesn't work with the open source drivers... The re-install of 10.0 leaves me with a blank screen as well. BAH! I hate ATi chipsets! :-( Dave

Hi! First, don't tell us, tell ATI! Secondly, it's not the chipsets, it's the documentation policy you hate (which prevents open source driver development) ;-) Regards, Ulrich
