Hi there

I am not part of the FreeBSD mailing list, if replys could please be
mailed to : jim@nospam.saca.net (remove nospan to mail)

Superprobe outputs the Follow (correct) information:
		First Video: Super-VGA
			Chipset: S3 Savage4 (PCI Probed)
			Memory:	32768 Kbytes
			RAMDAC:	Generic 8-bit pseudo-color DAC
				(with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in
				6-bit mode))

I cannot find this card (S3 86C395 / 396 / 397 ) in any of the setups -
namely XF86Setup or xf86config .

The card gives a lower-than-hurcules-monochrome clock of 25.18 ,
which I am SURE is not right.

When starting X however, I get this output..........

	<----------snip--------->
(--) SVGA: PCI: S3 Savage4 rev 2, Memory @ 0xf8000000, 0xe0000000
(--) SVGA: Unknown S3 chipset: chip_id = 0x8a22 rev. 2
(--) SVGA: chipset: generic
(--) SVGA: videoram: 64K    <-- Even when 32768K doesn't work!
(**) SVGA: clocks:  25.18
(**) SVGA: Using 8 bpp, Depth 8, Color weight: 666
(--) SVGA: Using builtin driver modes
(--) SVGA: Builtin Mode: 320x200
(--) SVGA: Virtual resolution set to 320x204
(--) SVGA: SpeedUp code selection modifed because Virtual X !=1024
	<----------snip--------->

I am rather new to FreeBSD, so please be gentle. I do have a fir Linux
background though.

Any Ideas?? Please mail them to the above address

Jim
