Well I got it working. The XF86config file I sent you awhile
back works fine for me in 16bpp and 8bpp, but only
in 1024x768.
I also have to manually create the X link to point to the
SVGA server.
It is a widespread problem. Redhat acted exactly the same way.
I guess the only server that works with the card is the
SVGA server, but the VGA16 is needed by SAX or XF86Setup
to configure it. It is a "catch22 situation".
Luckily, the libc5 version of SAX did run under SuSE5.3,
and let me create my working config.
I guess the glibc version of the vga16 server dosn't
work for either Suse or Redhat.
