Hi,
I am a new user of FreeBSD. I just finished intalling FreeBSD 4.0 on =
my system. However, there seems to be a video card compatibility =
problem. When i booted into the K desktop,there are icons displayed but =
the captions cannot be seen. This goes the same for the windows and =
menus where icons are visible but with illegable captions.Hence the GUI =
is unusable.
=20
I have a S3 trio 32/64 PCI (732/764) video card. During =
installation,when i wanted to configer the X server,this msg appeared =
when i clicked on the S3 trio 64 option on the list. It said: =20
=20
"The server required by the card is not installed. Pls abort,install =
the S3 server as /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3 and run this program again." I =
have tried typing this at command line interface but to no avail.
Can you please advice on how to install the S3 server or are there =
other methods to overcome this problem? Thanks!
=
Yours faithfully,
=
A new user
