Well, I upgraded my X server to 3.3.3.1, but it hasn't really helped very much. To review, my previous problem was that i was able to get my Xserver to run at 1024x768 after much tweaking, and even then it was sprkly, the mouse pointer was a green block, and the vertical axis was partially repeated on the top and bottom of the screen.
Now, with my new Xserver files, XF86Setup segfaults, and I can't seem to make the server recognize that I have 8 MB of video RAM. Here's the card entry from my XF86Config file: Section "Device" Identifier "Primary Card" VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "Diamond Viper 330" VideoRam 8192 EndSection Now, my question is: where is it getting the 2 MB size? The XF86Config file that I edit is in /etc/X11. Is there another one lying around that might be overriding my settings? Is there another spot in the XF86Config file that also might override the device entry? I might also note that the Xserver has no qualms with running at 800x600 32 bpp. However, the main point of buying a 17" monitor was to expand my desktop, and running the same resolution as I had on my 15" monitor does not forward that cause. So, my stats are: mostly potatofied Debian, XFree86 3.3.3.1 SVGA server (from http://master.debian.org/~branden/xfree86-3331/), kernel 2.2.6, glibc 2.1, etc... TIA, -Chris
