confusing X problem
I have been trying all day to get XFree86 3.3.2.3 running, but have simply
had no luck getting any resolution other than 320x200. I would like it to
do 800x600 with 256 (or more) colors. The video card does that just fine
under Windows95, so I know the hardware is capable, although maybe not
very compatible.
I wasn't sure about using a lot of bandwidth on this list since the config
file is about 20K, so I have put it on my ISP's server along with the
output. They are at these two addresses:
http://home.internetcds.com/~compman/XF86Config
http://home.internetcds.com/~compman/logfile.txt
I would really appreciate any help, or pointers to documentation that
would help. If anyone would like me to e-mail them the config file or the
output, I will be happy to.
XF86Setup could not successfully switch into graphics mode with the VGA16
server; it just put a grey background on the screen and nothing else. The
configuration file was originally made using xf86config, and I have made
some changes to try and get 800x600 (without any success).
The video card is a 2MB Diamond Viper Pro Video, and is a PCI card. I
have been trying to use the SVGA X server.
Please help me figure this out so I don't have to run Win95 on this
computer :-)
