I have a generic video card with a S3 chipset (yes it's authentic). The chip is labeled S3Trio64V2/DX (86c775). The card has 1M of memory and I'm trying to run Suse Linux 6.1 (yes it's old but I didn't want to invest more $ before I could be convinced that the system will work). The Xfree86 system has a help file dated 1998 (no clue which version). When I start X86config I get a screen with a 720x800 resolution so the card works Ok. I have tried and tried and tried some more but whatever I do the X system will not start with an S3 chip selected. I get errno 111 'can't connect'. After having selected SVGA and a generic chipset the system runs but with a 320x200 resolution so that I can't even see what the congratulations message says. Also KDM is useless with this kind of resolution. Before the system was working with the SVGA settings (which I don't see to be able to undo) I tried to start KDM and got the message that the system had detected a Sigma designs RealMagic 64/GX chipset. I have not found this card or chipset anywhere in the X86config program. Does someone have an idea how I can solve this without buying a new video card? Thanks, Filiep btw I only have an internet connection on my w95 machine. _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
