I recently installed a Creative Labs Graphics
Blaster 3D PCI card and X Windows is not happy about it. When I tried to
configure it I got an enormous desktop display and only the lower left quadrant
of the desktop could fit on the screen. The Graphics card uses a Cirrus Logic
gd5464 chip and my version of X has support for the Graphics Blaster & the
cldg5464 chipset, but I'm at a loss as to what options I need for XF86Config. My
old video card was a Cirrus Logic 5430/M30/40/M40 and X worked fine for it. I've
gone through the docs on the Cirrus chipsets and have tried the
"noaccel" and "nobitblt" options to no avail. I haven't
worked too hard at getting the card configured, it took me nearly a week to get
all the bugs out of the darn card in my Win95 partition and I'm kind of burned
out on troubleshooting it. Here are some stats on my system that might prove
helpful:
Monitor hsync rates 31.5/35.2/35.5
KHz
Monitor vsync rates 50-90 Hz
continuous
Video Card: Creative Labs Graphics Blaster 3D
4MB RAM PCI card uses Cirrus Logic gd5464 chip
I'm using the svga server and my version of
XFree86 is 3.3.(x?) says that the clgd5464 chip has been tested and works on
it.
Any help would be most appreciated
Thanks,
Matt
