X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Gabriel Ambuehl List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2003 18:40:01 -0000 Hello, from a project I have a left over Shuttle SK41G based on VIA KM266 chipset with features integrated ProSavageDDR graphics. I know that XFree 4.3.X supports the chipset but by any means, I can't seem to be able to figure out how to use it with resolutions higher than 640x480. (whomever came up with the idea of mod lines deserves to be shot anyway, why can't XFree just read the DDC information the monitor supplies to it?? (currently a Acer AL712)). Alternatively, I'd be quite happy if I could get the chip to display 800x600 on the TV out thru either svgalib or X as I want the box to act as media hub. Figuring that Linux would probably make for the better media player environment (see MythTV, Freevo) I tried that too but X wouldn't work either way. Sticking in another VGA card seems kinda wasted money if the one on board already does everything I need save for the fact that I can't seem to get it to work right (I know it does under Win but there's nothing comparable to Freevo under win :-(.
