RE: XFree with S3 Trio3D AGP?
Thanks for your help, I am going to set that up. I have the 2.2 kernel
compiled and about to go, and I have downloaded the XF_FBDev. Next thing is
how do I configure it? XF86Setup doesn't seem to have the FB listed in the
drivers. Do I need to edit XF86Config manually? Can you send me an
example?
Cheers.
