Hello all: I have been helping out a colleague with a Linux installation on a Cyrix 5x86 system on a combination PCI/VLB motherboard. Everything works fine except for X. We have tried running the ET4000/W32 server and the SVGA server as per the README.W32. No Luck! Basically, the symptoms are that the video is placed in some funny mode where nothing is visible on the screen even though the X-server has exitted. It is hard to judge blindly whether the machine is in reality back at a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-Del works for rebooting). No matter what attempts to switch video modes are made, the card is stuck in this funny mode. This happens for both the W32-specific driver ans the SVGA driver.
Any suggestions? We are reluctant to throw away this video card but the frustration level is rising. Carlo *********************************************************************** * Carlo U.
