Hi Mark, I found your email address on Google search (https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/xfree86-list/2001q4/000136.html) I have a SL-65MV motherboard (chipset VT8605 + VT82c686a) with a PIII/650 and 128MB RAM on my computer which run Linux RH7.3 OS. Also i have that last BIOS version for this motherboard. The problem is that my machine is freezing when i work in X windows. I have installed RH 7.3 version with vanilla kernel 2.4.18 patched with ac3 patch and many others. The problem is that also with originall kernel (shipped with this distribution) the sistem crush in console and in X windows. With my kernel, in console is working properly. It freeze only in X. I suspect that the problem is caused by the improper AGP Videocard Driver. In linux is detected to be a AGP card but with not supported AGP driver. I run XFree86-4.2.0-8 I found a driver for VIA ProSavage PM133 on www.soltek.com.tw an also at https://ranger.s3graphics.com/395drv/ but is writted for an old XFree86 version (3.3.6) (i downloaded s3savage-1.0-15.tar.gz) So, my question is: Can be configured somehow this Videocard to keep my sistem working correctly in Xwindows? Also, exist any AGP driver for this Videocard in Xfree-4.2.0? I try to use: modprobe agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1 and, AGP driver found but is not working corectly (i test it with TuxRacer Game)!
