Unfortunately, the Viper Pro Video (or at least this one) uses a Weitek P9100. I tried the nvidia server and had exactly the same problem as with the SVGA server that comes with dists/stable: stuck in 320x200 even though I told xf86config everything I knew: -that I want 800x600 -horizontal frequency range of 31-65 -vertical frequency range of 55-120 -2MB video RAM It is running 800x600 under Win95, so I know the hardware can do it. That makes this even more frustrating, since the hardware can clearly do 800x600, I told xf86config everything, and it randomly picks 320x200. I can understand why the logfile shows it rejecting modes higher than 800x600 because they are outside the monitor's frequency range, but it does not even bother to say why it refuses to run 800x600. The file /etc/X11/XF86Config is at http://home.internetcds.com/~compman/XF86Config The file /var/log/xdm.log is at http://home.internetcds.com/~compman/xdm.log Could someone please take a look at them and help me understand how to get it working?
