Hi,

I have expirienced the many problems with DS II S220. I have solves the issues setting VESA
as the driver for the graphic card and setting horizontal and vertical
values for monitor. I made some practices with the "rendition"  driver but I
was not able to set the proper values for the monitor. The picture was
proper but started from the middle of the screen (mirror effect). I have
enclosed here the critical part of the XFree86Config

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Mag"
        ModelName    "Unknown monitor"
        HorizSync    30-60

        EndSubSection

Of cource another modes can be included here, but 24 doesn't work with VESA.

I hop it will help someone (I spent few days to find the solution).

Hello,

I have a Diamond Stealth II S220 video card running on a 266 MHz processor with 64MB of RAM.  Everytime I complete a Linux Redhat 8.0 install I get garbled information after I restart.  I only believe it is a video card issue because I have switched everything out but that.  Could someone please help thanks in advace.

Sincerely,
