I have a similar card in my machine but it has the ARK2000PV chipset. When trying to get it to start x it goes black. Though you can still login over the network. I think there is some problems with the probe of either the accelerator or the timing chip which locks up the adapter. Try to put in the "ChipSet " parameter and try again. Also try to use the generic SVGA server and the mono one. Try visualy verifying the clockchip, on the graphic board, and implicitly specify it in the XF86Config file... Try "ChipSet generic" with the generic SVGA server, which seems to me to be the best bet of getting it to work everytime baring the use of the mono server :) > After i configure my video card and monitor with xf86config > i type "startx"... > The strange thing is, every time i ran Xfree86, my screen > became blank, and my computer hanged...

I cant seem to get it past mono but thats okay with me if only I could get up to 1152x900 or more, but since the frigging xmono server only uses 64k out of 2Mb it doesnt look too good, anyone here that could offer any help on this? Oh yeah once i actually had it show 256 colors but only in 320x200 on a 20" monitor. You could get nightmares for less :) regards/ Joakim
