Hello again,
I went to the S3 homepage and downloaded
s3id.exe
========================================
A:\>s3id
S3 Chip Identify Utility Version 1.00.07
Related CR register information:
CR2D = 0x8A CR2E = 0x13 CR2F = 0x02 CR30 = 0xE1 CR36 = 0x1F CR5E =
0x00
CR68 = 0xFF CR6F = 0xF8 CR72 = 0x00 CR73 = 0x00 CR92 = 0x00 CRB0 =
0x00
S3 Video Chip: Trio3D/2X (362/368)
Display Memory Size: 8M
Display Memory Type: SDRAM
===========================================
I think this identifies the chip unambiguously.
Hence linux, FreeBSD or Solaris for Intel CPU
using XFree86 3.3.6 and 4.2.0 supports my video board with
XF86_SVGA server with the s3v driver (3.3.6)
and "s3virge" driver. (4.2.0)
I'd now like to know what is a server and what is a driver ?
why don't 4.2.0 need any server, just a driver ?
If it needs a server which one am I to select ?
What is the recommended XFree86 version for my video card, please ?
Yours Sincerely
Morten Gulbrandsen
