X11 experts, help pls

2000-03-16 Thread Chad A. Adlawan
hello everybody ...

   I just had my video card replaced with a Trident 3D Image 9750 and now my X  
doesnt work anymore.  XF86Setup wont help because the card is not listed there.
   Is there any way I can get my XServer to recognize my new card without 
re-installing or upgrading X ?  I'm on Debian Slink.

TIA,

Chadi

Hey, don't panic. XF86 will help if you select/install SVGA server. If
you'd have read your documentation, you'd know that your particular
chipset is supported by the SVGA server.

Hi Chadi,

I have the same card in my box here. X86Setup is really buggy about this I
agree!  I set it up for 800/600 and it refused, at ANY bpp setting. It WOULD
work at 600/480, but you can't see enough of the setup pages to press "ok" to
make changes to think like nutscape etc.

I left it at 600/480 for a few weeks, finally, I reran XF86Setup and used the
absolute highest setting 1200/something and it worked!  The problem now is that
scrolling is terrible. You have to use page up/page down etc to move around. If
i try to use my mouse, it takes forever for the screen to catch up.

I am hoping an upgrade to the next version of x will help - but who knows.

Good luck, 73
