Hi its me again,
I set up a system with a permedia II card (Elsa Gloria Synergy), got the
driver from suse, tried
it first with the normal redhat5.0 X-setup.... it didn't work, the box
hangs as soon as I start the Xserver ( in which modification (startx, X ,
or just the driver) doesn't matter.
I got the Suse X-stuff,... same thing.
I finally managed to conserve the Server output by sending it over nfs to
another box, and this is what it looks like:
XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria 3.02 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: March 3 1998
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (send problem reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Operating System: Linux 2.0.32 i586 [ELF]
Configured drivers:
GLINT: accelerated server for 3DLabs GLINT graphics adapters
(Patchlevel 0)

and that where it kills itself. I've been juggling around with links and
altering XF86Config already, but always the same result, just one tiny
white dot on the left upper part of a blank screen.
PLeeease, anybody having any idea what's going on ????
thanks,
