Installing X on Compaq XE 466
Greetings all you fine folks!
I know this might be a little offtopic, but it's vital to me:
I need the setup param's for the on-board video-card that's in my old Compaq
486/66, model Deskpro XE 466, in order to get X configured right. I've tried
a few standardish setups, but all I get is white vertical stripes all over
the screen, and sometimes a neat blue color.
I've also tried searching the 'Net to no avail. Hey, even tried calling
Compaq; who didn't know any specifics and didn't give a f...
What I did gather was this:
It could be either a CirrusLogic 5434 or 5436 or 5446 or a Compaq Qvision
"local bus" (whatever that means). Any of these should be capable of
1024*768 and have 1Mb Vram.
If any of you guys have got X working on a machine like this or know
anything about it, please let me know. By the way, when I get along to it,
I'm going to get KDE. Seen it on one of my friends' machines -looks reeely
goood.
Best Regards
Vitux
