Hi all,

yesterday, I ran into a small problem with an older box that I set up with
RHL 6.2. It's using a S3 Trio64+ VGA card with 2MB RAM, which is giving me a
slight headache. I tried both XF86Setup and Xconfigurator (both updated to
the latest available updates). The card is recognized and the S3 xserver
started, however, I'm getting a vertical area of black and discoloured
pixels on the left hand side of the screen, both at 800x600/16bpp and
1024x768/16bpp (haven't tried 8bpp yet).
The card itself should be ok, as I had it running under RHL 5.2 in the same
box (though on a different motherboard) - of course I forgot to copy that
config before wiping the drive... :-/ I already had a look at
/proc/interrupts, /proc/dmas and /proc/ioports, but couldn't see any
conflicts (the PC has a NCR810 SCSI controller, a Yamaha OPL3 sound card, a
3c509 NIC and the onboard IO (IDE, serial)).

Anybody out there with an idea as to what could be causing this and/or what
I could investigate?

Thanks,

Thomas
