Greetings,
I'm a new Linux/Xfree86 user, trying to
configure XFree86 on a desktop machine running Debian "Woody" 3.0-r2. The PC in
question has;
A Stealth64 Video VRAM PCI
graphics adapter with 2MB of RAM, the S3Vision 968 chip, TI TVP3026
(RAMDAC?).
A GVC M1448L multisync 1024 x
768 non-interlaced monitor, VESA DPMS power-save mode, 65 MHz bandwidth, VSync
60 to 84 Hz, HSync 31.47 to 48.37 KHz.
Debian 3.0-r2 came with Xfree86 4.0. After
experimenting with various config files and getting nowhere, I downloaded
XFree86 version 4.4.0 (Linux-ix86-glibc22), and installed it the using the
Xinstall.sh script. (This dual-boot machine is off-network in Linux
mode).
I've tried various configuration methods,
such as;
dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86
xf86config
XFree86 -configure
The last of these produces a XF86Config.new
file containing a long list of PCI bus addresses for the video card,
while lspci reports the video adapter is only at PCI:0:6:0. In some cases,
the resulting XF86Config file contains a line saying; "# Refer to
/usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page.", neither of which
appear to exist. The 4.4.0 documentation for the Videoadaptor Section of the
XF86Config(5) man page says; "Nobody wants to say how this works. Maybe
nobody knows ...", which doesn't inspire confidence.
My latest attempt at an XF86Config, and
the resulting XFree86.0.log files are pasted below. The driver probe results
don't appear to agree with the lspci command. Any ideas? TIA,
Steve K.
