next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
We got a batch of new systems that have Diamond Multimedia Viper II Z200
video cards. They use the S3 Savage2000 chipset.
An office mate got his running X on Red Hat Linux after a bit of struggle,
but even when I copy the video settings from his XF86Config, I get bad
scan rates in FreeBSD-STABLE (I used the 20000714 snapshot). We are
using identical hardware.
XFree86 complains that the chipset is unrecognized, leading me to
believe that I need to update my driver:
SVGA: Unknown S3 chipset: chip_id = 0x9102 rev. 2
SVGA: chipset: generic
Do I need to be trying to find a more recent driver, or do I need to
keep looking for a mistake in my XF86Config?
- Bob
