Hi, I'm a new Debian user. I just installed 0.93R6 4 weeks ago and upgraded to 1.1 last week following Dale's instructions. My system is now up to date but I have problems configuring my Orchid Fahrenheit ProVideo 64 video card.
This card uses the S3 Vision 968 Chipset, whith a Bt485 RAMDAC and an ICD2061A ClockChip. I had to specify these in my XF86Config file since SuperProbe doesn't detect the Ramdac and ClockChip. Now when I startx, my screen turns black and after a few seconds, my monitor turns to power save mode. I can't get back to text mode even with <Ctrl> <Alt> <Backspace>. I'm forced to shutdown my computer using <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del> (and power it off/on) in order to get my monitor display things again. I tried the stb_pegasus option in my config file. With this setting, I was able to startx and exit using the <Ctrl> <Alt> <Backspace> sequence which correctly returned to text mode. But my english is not rich enough to describe what I had on my display after starting X :-) I also tried with the 3.1.2D version of XF86_S3 but it didn't work any better. I know this problem is not Debian-specific but if someone around can help... Thanks. Daba Olivier Abad [EMAIL PROTECTED]
