I just spent several hours trying to install Mandrake 9.1. I kept getting a message that told me that the graphics needed to be configured. O.K. It found my Optiquest Q71-5 monitor, my S3Savage4 graphics card, and that the card had 16MB of video RAM. It suggested that I run it at 1024x768 at I think 24 bpp (?). But all I got was a washed out, distored screen that had two solid bars that looked aprox. llike this: I I. which was just off to the side of the x but which followed the x when the mouse was moved. I re-loaded the software but this time ran it without the graphics mode at init3 where I gave the command: X -probeonly The following message appeared: Using config file "/etc/X11/XFree86Config-4" Using vt7 (EE) SAVAGE(0): Failed to fetch any BIOS modes. Disabling BIOS. It should be noted that between installs I re-installed Mandrake 9.0 which has XFree86 4.2 it it loaded with no problems. The second I re-installed Mandrake 9.1 with XFree86 4.3 the problem returned, as did the above message. Any ideas??? This could be a killer for people running S3/Savage based video cards. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
