[Xpert]S3 Trio 64V+ support
Hi , I'd like to know if in XF4.3 is planned the support for S3Trio64V+ ( chip 764/765 ). Unfortunately i have some trio card and i'd like to know if i can destroy them or i can hope to use them on light client in my lan in the future. I think that vesa solution is too bad.

I don't think this is a false Trio64V+ as i can read on the card the 765 chip code. The strange thing is that the xfree log saw it as Trio32/64. I've tried the s3 drivers with xfree 4.1 and i had no success. To speak true i had two(2) trio64v+ cards. With the first one i tried the s3 drivers in xf4.1 with no success and since then it doesn't work properly in vesa mode The screen go blank every time the CPU get busy ( It's a very strange behaviour ). With this second one i do not made any proof with s3 drivers ( until i know that 764/765 are supported) as i'm afraid to loose the possibility of use it with vesa drivers. Ah to get things more strange is that the "broken" trio works perfectly under windows9x . It's only under vesa&xfree that it cause problems! Pheraps tha card has reported a bios damage and win9x do not use the card bios ( programming the graphics chip directly.. ) ? Cheers , Ritchard P.S. I've sent 1day ago the same message with the log not zipped and that message was blocked waiting for moderator. Now that message can be deleted as i send now the same message within 40kb limit.

[Xpert]S3 Trio64V+ ( 764/765 ) and Matrox G200 AGP 2X
Hi all , I configured xfree 4.2 with an S3 Trio64V+ and a Matrox G200 AGP 2x. i've 2 problems in order of importance: 1)If i set in the bios the matrox card as the primary video vard ( init AGP first ) then i can use both cards and all go fine.If i set the s3 as the primary card ( init PCI first ) then when i run Xfree with the same configuration (still mga driver and vesa driver ) the matrox screen (!!) is garbage. In each case the s3 ( vesa driver ) is fine while the matrox works only if is set as first display. I'd like to know if this is a bug ( a known one or unknown ) and if there is something that i can do. I tried to disable DRI , AGP 2x and the various extension but the result is always the same. 2) I need the s3 trio v64+ drivers!! Oh well , i'dlike to know if this card will be supported in XF4.3 or i can trow it out of the window! I'm using it with vesa driver and the 60Hz refresh is getting me blind Cheers , Ritchard Najsh ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
