Now I could configure it well, but using xf86config directly in console mode, and then it works well in all the modes, be careful! if you try to configure x windows again in the KDE, it destroys your configuration and all goes to shit again. My xfree configuration is this: * Mouse PS/2 * dev: /dev/psaux * Standard 102 Keyboard * Keyboard Language Spain * Monitor horizontal refresh rate: 31.5-47.5 (30-50) * Monitor Vertical refresh rate: 50-100 * Video Card: 561 - S3 Trio 3D * Clock: No Clock * Xfree Server: XSVGA * Video Resolution sets to: 1024x768 in 8bpp 16 bpp 800x600 in 24bpp 32bpp * and all works fine : "Duval, Dominique" wrote: we had the same problem on an IBM 300PL with the same video card, you need to use the Xfree86 server for VGA not SVGA and it will work fine, or do what we did we set it up with the SVGA server but ran VNC on it and attached to it remotely -Original Message- From: Alan Shoemaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 2:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.1 S3 Trio 3D Iagoba wrote: Hello again I was trying to Install Mandrake 7.1 in my job's computer, (I wanted show the Linux excelences to my boss), and I ever got the same problem, when I'm configuring the X Server, when I try to test the resolution mode the instalation crash! the window appears black and never returns to the instalation, I'm installing it in an: IBM PC 300GL with 64MB Ram, S3 Trio 3D Integrated in the motherboard with 4MB, HD 2 GB for linux and 2GB for W98 and one Ethernet ne2000 compatible.
