Hi I'm trying to configure X on a PII 300 Mhz dual proc with a Creative TNT2 Vanta PCI card and running Woody.
X works in 1280x1024, but both xfree 3.3.6 xserver-svga and xfree 4.0.1 xserver-xfree86 have problem with stable picture in 1600x1200. The card should be able to do this with 85Hz vertical according to the documentation. In fact it is only 220Mhz pixelrate of the possible pixelrate of 350MHz. Even my old Millenium II can take the Dell 21" D1626HT to 1600x1200 but with less colors. The problem is for instance that if I click on the desktop the menu (fvwm menu) comes up with an offset to the right and is unstable and has stripes. The system however thinks it is located close to the mouse pointer so there is some guessing to choose the correct line etc. Bigger windows case even more trouble. Anyone got some input or experience of such a combination? What is the quality of the xfree86 drivers for this card? Should one try to compile the drivers from Nvidia's ftp site? Anders
