[Newbie]Diamond Viper Pro Issues (Weitek P9000 chipset)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is on behalf of a friend who is having trouble getting his Diamond Viper 
Pro PCI card to run under Linux.

He's running a fresh install of Mandrake 8.1, it doesn't prompt him as to 
which version of X to use (I expect it simply went to 3.3.6 since the Weitek 
chipsets aren't supported in 4.1.0).

Even in the shell he is seeing retrace lines and X will not start (it tries, 
and ctrl-alt-backspace must be used to get back to the shell).

He runs a Windows/Linux dual boot and it works fine under Windows. So either 
it is a software issue or a hardware issue for which Windows finds a 
work-around.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
