I have that card on a system on which I've recently installed Fedora Core 1. It uses 4.3.0 and it generally works well. I am unable to get a flicker free display at 1600x1200 because I cannot convince the server that the card has a 220 MHz dot clock. It probes 170 MHz and seems to ignore the "dacspeed 220" in the config file. It did work with an older server (which was Debian also.) I don't know if my XF86Config would help you, but if you want to give it a try, a copy can be found at http://hbarta3.home.comcast.net/tmp/XF86Config.txt and if you want to compare logs, look at http://hbarta3.home.comcast.net/tmp/XFree86.0.log.txt. I don't know the answer to the compile option question since I'm using the kernel that delivers with Fedora. But I think that the stock kernel tends to have *everything* compiled in as an option. Here is a list of modules that are loaded: $ /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted emu10k1 68616 0 ac97_codec 17064 0 [emu10k1] sound 73300 0 [emu10k1] soundcore 6500 7 [emu10k1 sound] parport_pc 18788 1 (autoclean) lp 8868 0 (autoclean) parport 36800 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] autofs 13236 0 (autoclean) (unused) ds 8616 2 yenta_socket 13728 2 pcmcia_core 56288 0 [ds yenta_socket] tulip 43200 1 floppy 57020 0 (autoclean) sg 35852 0 (autoclean) sr_mod 17752 0 (autoclean) cdrom 33216 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod] st 31340 0 mousedev 5428 1 (autoclean) input 5824 0 (autoclean) [mousedev] ext3 70532 3 jbd 51732 3 [ext3] aic7xxx 163248 3 sd_mod 13676 6 scsi_mod 107016 5 [sg sr_mod st aic7xxx sd_mod] The only modules I don't recognize are st and ds and I don't know if they are used by the X server.
