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? -- Virtually, Edward Wolpert ------------------------------- "The best way out is always wolperte@pcec.knox.philips.com | through." - Robert Frost wolpert@utk.edu | =============================== 'Give me a shell, and I'll Truth is what you believe. | give you the world.'
