My video card, a diamond stealth 2500, uses a screwball chipset, the AT-24 from alliance.
It works with the base SVGA server, but with lots of artifacts. Enough that I'm limited to 1024x768; they get really bad beyond that. THe manufacturer provides a replacement driver, but it's a year or two old. When I try to swap drivers, I get the "unable to create socket" errors (hmm, there doesn't seem to be a backup of /var/log/xdm-errors to get the exact text from). I also noticed that the installation script refers to different places for some files, such as /etc/XF86Config, and /usr/X386/lib/X11/cards. is there any hope? I'd like to go to a larger display, or 16 bits, but it's just not very usable with this driver. rick -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
