[expert] X and Framebuffer

[Fábio Sato]

I'm installing Mandrake 7.1 and I'm trying to use XF86_FBDev because I have a S3 Trio 3D card and can't get it working with the XFree86 SVGA drivers.   I've installed the kernel with framebuffer support and modified my lilo to boot with a vesa mode of 1024x748x32bppp (0x318).   My console looks great, but I can't get my X running... I linked /etc/X11/X with /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_FBDev and changed my screen section in the XF86Config to the following:   Section "Screen"   Driver   "fbdev"   Device   "My Video Card"   Monitor  "My Monitor"   Subsection "Display"        Modes    "default"        Viewport   0 0   EndSubsection EndSection   When I call startx, it ends with the following message: fbdevScreenInit: unable to set screen params   So, I changed the modes entry to "1024x768", but then the server complains because it could not find any valid mode.   Can anyone help me? I was using the same video card with previous versions of XFree (working in strange modes, but working), but now I can't figure out what to do...   Thanks! --- Fabio Sato - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
