I now have *absolutely* no idea why this is working. What I found from diddling is: with XF86Setup, and the SVGA server, i could get into x--at 320x200 (240?). with xf86config, i couldn't get a working setup sor the S3; generally the fixed font error. switch /etc/X11/Xserver didn't help, either; still errors from the SVGA setup with the server switched. then i installed xserver-s3v --i have no idea what the relation between this and s3 is --and got an unrecognized chip errror. so i purged that, and set Xserver back to svga. voila. X at 640x480, but the virtual screen isn't any larger. for that matter, i can't even tell how many bpp this is. if it's 24, that would explain things . . . so: 1) how do i tell it what mode i'm in? 2) how do i set the default to 8? 3) for that matter, will the s3 chips do 1280x1024 under the vga16 server? All I need (care) about color for is the code hi-liting in emacs. 4) how do i figure out settings for XF86config for screen settings/sizes? I'd like 640x480,1024x728, and 800x600 on 8 bit, 640x480&800x600 on 16, and 640x480 on 24 . or 640x400 on 32 if it forces me to 32. 5) do i need to sacrifice undergraduates to keep this working? and if so, to the screen, the software, or the hardware? :) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
