Dear Debian-user-list,
because of the fact, read on www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/Status29.html :
**************************************************************************************
"Summary:
All hardware supported in 3.3.6 is also supported in 4.3.0 except for the
911, 924, 801, 805, 928, 864, and 868, and versions of the 964 and 968
that do not use the RAMDAC chips listed above. The SuperSavage chipset
is supported only in 4.3.0."
**************************************************************************************
my elderly graficcard, S3 Inc. 86c964 [Vision 964 VRAM] doesn't work with the delivered
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 on Sarge.
-> only vesa-mode, RAMDAC-chips are not supported here.
Meanwhile, the XFree86 3.3.6-Version is further available.
Can anyone tell me,
1) from where get the Xfree 3.3.6 as Debian-paket, complete with dependig
other pakets (e.g. libraries, etc.)
and
2) how to install/configure it easy-going step by step on Sarge without
mismatch with Xfree 4.3.0 and system to get S3 86c964-card running ?
I suppose, that would be the correct way, to configure my S3 86c964-card on the Sarge-System ...
Many thanks for tipps,
cheers
Christoph
