Thomas,
After some deep searching on Deja News, I might have some help for you.
Here's the device section that someone posted saying it worked for
them. It's
worth a shot!
Section "Device"
Identifier "PCChips 100 AGP"
VendorName "PCChips"
BoardName "pc100"
Chipset "sis6326"
Option "no_bitblt"
Option "sw_cursor"
DacSpeed 175
Option "edo_vram"
VideoRam 8192
EndSection
You'll probably want to modify the Identifier, Vendor Name, and Board
Name lines.
Just make sure that the Identifier line that you insert into the above
is also listed in the Screen Section as:
Device "YYY"
Let me know if this helps out.
