Antwort: Re: S3 Trio64 support
Hello Gary,
I had the same problem wirh my two Alphaserver 4100 and the trio video
card.
It was working fine in RedHat 7, but never in debian.
Boring spending so much time with that configuration issue, I bought 2
used matrox millenium (also certified for that system) 10 eur per card.
I was wondering that X in woody with XF86 never was working with that
really well known card.
I could boot to console, but after starting X, I had the same problems as
you describe - no display, no mouse, no keyboard only ssh.
After upgrading to etch and Xorg (7) everything works perfect now.
May be upgrading to that card is and option for you, the correct name of
the interface is:
VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2064W [Millennium]
(rev 01)
Hope that helps.
Steffen.
