I believe the chipset is an S3 Trio 3D... For whatever
The first thing to do is to find out exactly what that card is. Why do you think it's an S3 Trio 3D chip? Why do you write "64?" ? If you find out exactly what the chip is on the card then things will be easier. > reason the Super Probe program doesn't exist on my Slackware system, so I > havent been able to probe the card and find out the exact chipset, but I'm > fairly sure its the S3 Trio 3D... Just saying "Slackware" doesn't provide very much information. The particular release number of the distribution will convey more information to other Slackware users that may be able to help you. Even more importantly for this list will be the version of XFree86 that you're running. Try the following to find out what the card is: "/sbin/lspci -vv | grep "VGA compatible controller" to find out what version of XFree86 you're running: "X -version" HTH, Oisin Feeley _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
