Slackware Linux, XFree 3.3.x, Trio 3D/2x video board

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

 



Greetings !

Please help me with the following situation :

(1) I have the Slackware 7.0.0 disk (1999), which contains
X Free , version 3.3.5. My video board is a S3 Trio 3D/2x,
AGP, 86C 362.
    I am a little confused : which driver should I use ?
XF86_SVGA, s3 - "normal", s3 - virge ?
    And which method I should use : (a) XF86Setup, or
(b) xf86config ? (I think that this is not so important, but
the selected items during the configurations...)
    I can enter X11 mode, but KDE / Enlightenment / etc
block my system, so I cannot do anything but a hard-
reboot (Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing).

    I would greatly apreciate your valuable help.

    I managed to run perfectly X Free with Slackware :
 -- 9.1 and 4.3.0
 -- 8.0 and 4.1.0.


(2) Second, I want very much to install X11, using the
Slackware Linux 3.4 distribution, which contains X Free,
version 3.3.1. The only video mode that is accepted is
320 x 200 (as far as I configured the system). Please
guide my through the setup process, having in mind that
the AGP architecture didn't existed in the years 1997-1998.


Thank you very, very much !!
Alexander.
