Subject: SiS 6326 AGP and XF86Config
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 19:55:28 GMT
I have been trying to get Xwindows running with a Diamond Speedstar A50 video
card with SiS 6326 AGP chipset. I have installed XFree86-3.3.3.1-25 and have
tried countless customization combinations with XF86Config but can't seem to
get anything higher than 640x480. I have an NEC Multisync A700+ Monitor and
have confirmed the monitor hsync and vsync ranges match with the specs in the
manual.
Miscellaneous information -
1. I keep getting an error file showing up called .FVWM2-errors in the root
directory. The error states: Unable to find usable depth. This leads me to
believe that the problem lies within "Screen Section" of the XF86Config file
but nothing I try seems to work.
2. As I mentioned I can get Xwin at 640x480 but when I attempt to open the
control panel, nothing happens. When I attempt to adjust the resolution using
Ctrl-Alt and + or - I get a black screen.
I am including my latest and greatest XF86Config for anyone who might have an
answer.

I have just bought SuSE Linux 6.0 and I have the following problem: I have
a USB mouse which does not work (but the mouse is OK with Windows98).
Does somebody know what I should do? Are there sites where I can download

How do I get linux to power down my pc like windows98 does? I have an ATX

off.
I have been using "shutdown -h now" in linux, but that only halts the system
and does not remove power. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

The Stylus 600 works fine with Ghostscript 5.10 or later's "uniprint"
drivers. It should also work with the older "stcolor" driver.

Is there any difference in network load between the two machines? I have
had problems with machines with 3c900 cards which hangs at heavy network
load. Example of such network load could be being an NFS-server for NFS
installation of Slackware or doing rdist between machines of big file
systems. When those machines hang they do not respond to ping and they
seem completely dead, it is not even possible to toggle the num-lock or
caps-lock leds, only a hard boot would help. By replacing the network
cards I got rid of the problem.
I don't know if this is your problem, the 3c900 is an older card than
yours and is only 10Mbps. However, they use the same driver (3c59x.c).

I AGREE, SETTING UP GNOME IS DIFFICULT. Using the " --nodeps " flags
when using rpm can force the packages to install. This is not
easy to find out. Also, "exec gnome-session" in .xinitrc doesn't always
crank up everything (I think); and it didn't even remotely work the first
two times I ran "startx". But for some reason it started "mostly"
working; I think there's a couple of things missing but I don't know
how to verify it. Is there a "diagnose" program for GNOME to tell
what you may be missing?

no. don't try this. use
startx -- -bpp 16
for a quick override.
if you like 16 bit color, put
DefaultColorDepth 16
in the appropriate section of the /etc/X11/XF86Config. see man
XF86Config for details.
