Recently, my monitor died, so I had to use my backup 14" monitor to
temporarily replace it. Now, normally, I could just use Xconfigurator
and change the resoultion from 1024x768 to 800x600. Unfortunately,
Xconfigurator does not probe the right video card. I have an ASUS SP97V
motherboard that has onboard video, yet it is disabled, and I am using a
Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 w/4M VRAM. Xconfigurator detects the onboard
video chipset instead of the actual video card :-( Thus, I sent off to
manually run xf86config. I picked the correct video card, and the
correct monitor specs, and attempted to use the S3 ViRGE driver (which
is the correct driver for my video card chipset). I chose the 800x600
video mode in 24-bit color (this works fine in Win98). When I attempt
to start X, it starts in 320x200 or some odd resolution. I then
attempted to just use the SVGA driver instead of the S3 ViRGE driver.
This gave the error:
There is no mode definition named "800x600"
Fatal server error:
No valid modes found.
I tried doing this in all color depths:
startx -bpp 8/16/24
all of which resulted in the same error.
Any ideas why this is happening, and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Aaron
