Re: which xserver to use on Ultra2 ?
I had a similar problem with a U2 and a 3D Creator. After much
Google'ing I was able to determine it was a problem with one of the
modules for XFree86 -- it didn't seem to like the 3D Creator cards.
Specifically it was the "DRI" module. If you do a
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" and de-select this module, it should
work for you. An excerpt from my XF86Config-4 is below.
===============
Section "Module"
Load "GLcore"
Load "bitmap"
Load "dbe"
Load "ddc"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "pex5"
Load "record"
Load "speedo"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
Load "xie"
EndSection
=================
Hope this helps.
