I have a Diamond FIRE GL 1000 Pro video card. The following are the specs for the card: Chip Type: 3Dlabs' PERMEDIA 2 DAC Type: TVP4020 Memory: 8MB 230MHz RAMDAC AGP 1.0 / ATX compatible When configuring the X server, I did the following: This card is not in the card database for the X server, so I chose the generic "VGA Compatible" card. I also didn't see the DAC or chipset as supported selectable items, so I didn't select any. I chose to use the VGA (16 color) server, just to be safe. When I start the server using 'startx', the machine locks up. I can't even do a CTRL-ALT-BKSPC to stop the server. I can tell that the video board stops sending a signal to my monitor because the monitor's on-screen menu shows up about 3 seconds after 'startx'. The menu shows that there are no input signals present. Any ideas?
