XFree86 Configuration




Hey.

I'm trying to setup X on an Alpha running Woody and failing miserably.
The video card's an old Diamond with the ARK2000PV chipset.
When debconf prompts me for a driver, "ark" isn't in the list of
proposals. If I choose "vga", I get X on the lower half-screen at
640x480 (not cool).

I looked around a little and realized that the "ark_drv.so" file
isn't on the drive, even though the xserver-xfree86 package is
installed. The number version is correct: 4.1.0-16 .

I've tried reading the docs, tutoriels and using google but
didn't come up with anything. What is going on?

FYI, the list of drivers that debconf conjures up:

vga
ati
atimise
glint
mga
nv
r128
radeon
rendition
s3virge
savage
siliconmotion
tdfx
tga
v4l
