I have been trying all day to get XFree86 3.3.2.3 running, but have simply had no luck getting any resolution other than 320x200. I would like it to do 800x600 with 256 (or more) colors. The video card does that just fine under Windows95, so I know the hardware is capable, although maybe not very compatible.
I wasn't sure about using a lot of bandwidth on this list since the config file is about 20K, so I have put it on my ISP's server along with the output. They are at these two addresses: http://home.internetcds.com/~compman/XF86Config http://home.internetcds.com/~compman/logfile.txt I would really appreciate any help, or pointers to documentation that would help. If anyone would like me to e-mail them the config file or the output, I will be happy to. XF86Setup could not successfully switch into graphics mode with the VGA16 server; it just put a grey background on the screen and nothing else. The configuration file was originally made using xf86config, and I have made some changes to try and get 800x600 (without any success). The video card is a 2MB Diamond Viper Pro Video, and is a PCI card. I have been trying to use the SVGA X server. Please help me figure this out so I don't have to run Win95 on this computer :-) Patrick
