Re: [newbie] SiS 630 chipset
Hi how did u go with this ( why i'm i asking ? i have a tagra notebook that has a sis 630 video card and i' get black srceen ) now from what i can pick up from the http://www.xfree86.org/ i'm getting this 4. Troubleshooting Some video modes with high dot-clocks don't work at all, resulting on black screen. Lowering dotclock in that case could solve the problem. but i'n not to sure what this is all about ( going to read more about it ) Michael Falzon Last Of The BBs Sysop Mozy's Swamp BBs Red Dwarf BBs http://mozysswamp.yi.org Registered Linux user #204397 - Original Message - From: Navin Daryanani [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 2:54 PM Subject: RE: [newbie] SiS 630 chipset yes.
