I had the same problem with my Viper II - no support for the Savage 2K chipset. Heck, the DAC setting went only up to 300MHz (in the XF86Setup utility). Anyway, you will need to set up a frame buffer device. That is if the video card supports VESA 2.0 specs. run locate vesa or something like it and you should find a directory that has specs on svga and vesa and how to set up /dev/fb? for your video card. Hints: make sure that you start up with the decimal settings for the video mode you can DL the XF86_FBDev driver from the 3.3.3 version. You will also need source for the kernel to rebuild it appropriatelly. Hope this helps, Adam
