Hello, I'm a _relative_ newbie to Linux. I'm a competent enough to get Debian 1.3.1 CD (from LSL) installed. I've gotten the kernel recompiled, and have gotten diald & sound options compiled.
My question, my only problem, the fly in the ointment of Linux, the "black fly in my Chardonnay" is that when I want to run a svgalib program (X works) at the console it doesn't recognize it and then -screws- it up.. basically, it runs, but it doesn't recognize my Virge chip. As I've looked through DejaNews for the solution to my problem, I've been unsuccessful in finding a solution that works. Some suggestions have hinted at faking svgalib into thinking it's the Trio chipset (which is basicially all Virge really is with some poor 3d functions strapped on top.) So, if anyone's had any luck getting this working, please post or email... Because xquake in a window simply doesn't cut it. :) Andrew Keen Student [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
