Xwindows S3V server
Hi,
I'm having trouble while running X-windows. I used to use a 486dx2/66
with 8MB of ram, a vesa bus and an S3 videocard with 1MB of ram but I
recently upgraded to a K6/200 with 32MB of ram and a PCI S3 virge card
with 2MB of ram and an AOpen motherboard with intel TX chipset. When I
run Xconfigurator (RedHat) and I select an S3 virge videocard and I
install the appropriate server, I get the following:
-------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----
XFree86 Version 3.2 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6100)
Release Date: Oct 26 1996
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux [ELF]
Configured drivers:
S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
s3_ViRGE
(using VT number 7)

giving up.

-------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -
When I use the SVGA driver I can only get a resolution of 320x200 or
something... not really wonderful :)
Only the VGA driver works, but of course that's only 640x480.
