Hi.
I've an old Trident 8900D SVGA Video Card, which works
well with X Windows, svgalib and SVGATextMode.
Problem #1:
-----------
The problem is that this card works only with 8 bpp in X.
The file /usr/doc/X11/README.trident say that the model
8900D can work with 16 bpp, sometimes with the lines
Option "linear"
and
DefaultColorDeep 16
(or something like those, I don't remember now) in the
proper locations. When I try on of that, or both, there
are error messages about my chipset don't supporting
the 16 bpp mode. In Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 I can
use 16 bpp.
Problem 2:
----------
Other problem is that I can't use the 320x200 and
320x240 resolutions in X. These resolutions work well
in Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, and the error messages
I receive says that there isn't dotclocks for these
resolutions.
I think the problem is that the XF86_SVGA don't "know"
that my card support Doublescan. How can I enable
Doublescan for my video card?
Some suggestions for these 2 problems?
Thanks in advance.
