Folks-
I've installed Freebsd 2.0, from the Walnut creek cdrom.
I've been trying to get the x working, and have gotten it ok at
800x600, 16colors. My card (VL-46, trident TVGA9440) can support
256 colors at 1024x768, and so can my monitor (Philips cm4015)
I realize that the latest chipset from Trident that is supported
is the 9420, but I'd figure I'd try it anyway. (Since it's
the only one I've got. ;-)
Basically, when I do the configuration, everything is there,
and I'm trying to emulate the 9420 chipset. However, the xfree
code sees the version of the board (0xe3 I believe) and reconizes
that it's unknown, so it defaults to generic. Perhaps there is a
way to configure generic to handle 1024x768 at 256 colors? Any
ideas?
