Of course it's an VIA but Via has bought the Technology from S3 ....


The KM233 form VIA is compatible to the S3-Savage4

and AFAIK it is the same for the newer Chipsets too

My notebook (KM233) works fine with the savage driver (but without 3D-support)


I thing the savage driver might help you too.

PS: it might be that our notebooks are nearly the same ...
   (here in Germany are such rumors for Acer Aspire 13xx and Siemens-Fujitsu)

Norbert,


Ok, you have impressed me, but... how the $#@ do you know this device is the KM400 chipset? I really would like to know :o)

Do you know which settings should I use to properly use this video card, or must I stick to the vesa driver?

   Thanks a lot for your help
   Jose

Hi there,


I also have problems with my video card on my Acer Aspire 1350 (yes, I'm the same guy with the APM/ACPI dilemma). Following the specifications in the Acer web page, my laptop should have an S3 Savage or an ATI Mobility Radeon, but whenever I run a lspci | grep VGA I get the following:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 7205 (rev 01)




No, it's not S3 nor ATI, but as lspci says, it's VIA.
Device 7205 is KM400.
