Hello Jay,
I've got the same card on my PC at home with Debian 2.1 slink running.
I've downloaded it from
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc
You need the following files:
extract
postinst.sh
preinst.sh
Xbin.tgz
Xlib.tgz
Xman.tgz
Xset.tgz
and from the Server directory the XSVGA.tgz
Put this files to your /tmp directory,then cd /usr/X11R6 and make a
backup of your existing configuration:
tar -zcvf XFree86_Backup ./* then
sh /tmp/preinst.sh
chmod 755 /tmp/extract
/tmp/extract /tmp/X*.tgz
sh /tmp/postinst.sh
Now you can run XF86Config.
This worked fine on my PC,but it should also work with the 3.3.5.
Hope i could help you!
Bye,
Horst
