> Brian. This is a very old bug with XFree86 andS3 Trio3d cards. It was reported on the XFree86 mailing lists over a year ago. With the virtual framebuffer activated the left half or so of the screen looks normal but the right half is repeated vertical strips of some of the left part of the screen. I just got through fixing this problem with my 9.1 install. If this is your problem (It sounded like it from the original description of it), then the simplest work around that I've found is not to use the virtual framebuffer at all. When booting some lines with "vga=" in it the virtual framebuffer is activated. From then on your display will be unusable with the XFree86 driver until you reboot without the framebuffer. I just now (less than an hour ago) reinstalled lilo with the framebuffer and repeated this bug. I have now set the linux-nonfb mode as my default boot and it eliminates this bug. > > > >On Thursday 12 June 2003 08:50 pm, Brian Schroeder wrote: > > There was a thread recently about running XFree 4.3 on the S3 Trio 3D, > > I'm hoping one of those people may be able to help me get it > > working. -- In a world without walls and fences, who needs windows and gates?
