Try finding all the things in your xlog file that come up as "(--) probed" and set them up manually in your X config. I read of a few cases like yours in which the auto detected was not picking up the video ram and chipset properly. Does all this look right: (--) PCI: (0:11:0) 3DLabs GLINT R3 rev 1, Mem @ 0xdffe0000/17, 0xd8000000/26, 0xd4000000/26, BIOS @ 0xdffd0000/16 (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 86C326 5598/6326 rev 11, Mem @ 0xcf000000/23, 0xdfaf0000/16, I/O @ 0xac00/7, BIOS @ 0xdfae0000/16 (--) Chipset SIS6326/AGP/DVD found (--) Chipset pm3 found Let me know if it's helpful setting your VideoRam (as in http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/glint.4.html) and your chipset manually. -M ________________________________________ From: ASIF IQBAL [mailto:ashuasif02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2004 7:43 AM To: xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Michael Hamilton Subject: Re: [XFree86 on Solaris/X86] (EE) GLINT(1): Cannot read V_BIOS(3) Hello!

At first I have configured XFree86 only with "SIS" card, and it worked fine. Then while I tried to configure both SIS and Permedia cards together by the command "XFree86 -configure", the file in /var/log/XFree86.0.log have the error message showing like "(EE) GLINT(1): Cannot read V_BIOS(3)" can anybody give me the solution for this. And for the configured file i got after the above step "XF86Config.new", and i tried to check the Xserver by the command "XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new" the system hanged. Please give me the solution for this. > > > >There is a possible fix for this in our CVS. If that doesn't work, it might be that the driver for /dev/xsvc doesn't allow certain mappings, in which case you would have to switch to the XFree86-provided aperture driver. > > > >Marc. > > > >+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ > >| Marc Aurele La France | work: 1-780-492-9310 | > >| Computing and Network Services | fax: ; 1-780-492-1729 | > >| 352 General Services Building | email: tsi@xxxxxxxxxxx | > >| University of Alberta +-----------------------------------+ > >| Edmonton, Alberta | | > >| T6G 2H1 | Standard disclaimers apply | > >| CANADA | | > >+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ > >XFree86 developer and VP.
