Re: [newbie] Carte Trident
Any of the recent ATI cards will work fine. For cheapness, try the SIS range or the Cirrus Logics. Your box spec is fine and Mandrake will run fine, though you could try LM8 which installs easier and supports more hardware. regards On Friday 31 August 2001 14:36, you said: > Hi ! > > I had to reinstall LM 7.2 because I changed a lot of things on my > machine. > > Now I have the same old problem: X doesn't work.

Hi ! I had to reinstall LM 7.2 because I changed a lot of things on my machine. Now I have the same old problem: X doesn't work. I have read here that my card -Trident 3D 975- may be the problem. Do you actually think so? Because if so, I will change it, because I'm sick and tired of video troubles. What video card you know that works very well under Linux, please? May be you know how to make the card work. I know it IS possible because I reached in the past, but I had to change the X server to FBDev. But I forgot how to do this :-) What specs do you need to think about? My machine is a Pentium II 350 Mhz, 256 Mb RAM, and Linux is on hdb (hda is windoze). hdb has 15 Gb. I'l appreciate any help G le D --- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
