Re: [XFree86] Query
Arpit, To your first problem : I have also a reasonable old motherboard with a P1 class processor ( 166MHz ). I managed to run a 30Gb Harddisk, while my bios does not support Harddisks larger then 2Gb. The trick was to go to the Harddisk manufacturers site and download a special program for this problem. You have to install this on your Harddisk. Once installed, your system will run that program first (after bios startup and before your OS starts) It will correct your bios settings for your Harddisk. Note, that my Harddisk was a Western Digital with good support. I am do not know if this is a service provided by all HD manufacturers.

With your second problem the netvista, i don't now if you now this but that netvista is certificated for linux, you just have to call to the call center and they HAVE to help you if it is some problem there, you can review the IBM home page for more information. If they don't help you incist !! i worked there that why i'm tell you this, All the IBM computers are certificared for linux,and red hat specific. atte.

I have a Pentium-I class computer the description of which is: 1. Pentium-I (S) @ 100 MHz CPU 2. Intel i430-VX Chipset original motherboard from Intel i430-VX-AI5V-90/100/133/150/175/200 05-04-1996 The largest harddisk supported by my motherboard is 8.4 GB. My BIOS version is 1.0 01 Is it possible that by some means (for eg. upgrading my BIOS) that my motherboard can recognize a bigger harddisk. ** Problem 2: I have a IBM Netvista 6824-42A computer with Intel 845 Chipset. I failed to get x-working with Linux Red hat 8.0. I upgraded to Linux 9.0 and got the x . But i have still not able to get the desired resolution/display which at present is set at 800*600. i am trying by going to settings>display>resolution no luck. I shall be highly grateful for an early solution for the same. Thanking you Arpit Bansal ABansal ___ Meet your old school or college friends from 1 Million + database...

There seems to be a growing number of folks with these issues, which I've kinda been expecting. Its not likely folks with these older S3 boards are going to upgrade XFree86 very fast, but I expect the numbers to grow as the upgrade cycle progresses... Which ramdac does your board use? TI had several. I'm kinda annoyed about the S3 968 with an IBM RGB 526 not being supported, as XFree86 3.3.6 reports a 526 as a 524 during startup, which *is* supported by 4.x. What does it take to get programming docs for all these chips? IBM would provide docs for their DACs if they still had them (I've been in touch with them)... -Toth ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 It maybe an old card (expensive too at the time), but it still works fine for me ( this problem aside then ).
