I could even get it to go upto 1280x1024 resolution after tweaking aroung a bit with the monitor configuration. The monitor I had was not standard so although it was meant to do quite a lot but it was reporting its capability s only 1024x768. As to S3 ProSavage DDR never had it dont know whether it will work. Though it was not listed in the card list which comes up in the redhat-config-xfree86. If you really want higher resolution you can try the fbdev driver on RHL 9 on the i845 although with this I think you have to pass the vga=xxx parameter to the kernel for this to work. Currently I am using vga=791 and I also think this supports a max of 16 bpp and wont run under 24 bpp so you will have to change this also in your XF86Config. bye, -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

RE: [ilugd] X Configuration
Hi, Atleast the X Server has started now. Yes, the OS is RHL 9, the problem seemed to be with the monitor settings. But still, the maximum is 800x600, so still some work is left. BTW, has anyone used RHL 9 with Gigabyte KM266 Chipset motherboard, with S3 ProSavage DDR. I recently upgraded my home machine and need to know if RHL 9 supports it. I couldn't get RHL 7.2 to start the X Server on it.

I am currently using the fbdev drivers for this. I tried using vesa but for some reason that failed although in RH 7.3 the same combination was able to run 1280x1024. Anybody got any thoughts on this as to why the newer version of X and vesa driver is unable to do what the older version was very much capable of? With the new version I could not even bring up 1024x768. Also is there anyway to get DRI working on this ? The last time I tried with the dri drivers provided on the Intel site my X started to seg fault so I have given up temporarily since I wasted a lot of time getting it up and working again. bye, -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Re: [ilugd] X Configuration
hi D.venkat!! redhat-config-xfree86 shud work fine for RH 8 & above. but if still ur prob is not solved then try this thing, run the shell script (text mode) & try running xconfig via KDM. then select KDE instead of GNOME. if it still doesnt work then download the required drivers for ur M/B.. & then it shud work abs fine. gud luck. regards Cypress --- "D.Venkatasubramanian, Noida" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hi, What is the Configuration utility for X in RH9.

Thanx, its an Intel 845 M/B. redhat-config-xfree86 probes correctly, but still display problems. Windows NT runs correctly. I guess, we will have to manually edit the config file.
