I'm trying to get X running on my home-brewed AMDK6-2 system. Motherboard is a SiS M598 with built-in 8MB AGP 2D/3D accelerator and built-in audio. Linux Mandrake 6.0 installs fine. I tried using one of the SiS video adapter types and just a got a mess in X. Switched to SVGA server, configured for 1024x768, and I'm getting an X display but it's "squished" (for lack of a better word). It seems like the resolution switch after startx is causing problems with the monitor. It's an old Apple Multiple Scan multi-sync monitor with a PC-style cable adapter. I believe it's the 1705 (Shadow Mask tube, definitely not the Trinitron that was in the Multiple Scan 17). Anyway, the Apple Spec database lists 1024x768 as a supported Macintosh resolution, but only lists 800x600 as max resolution for EVGA. Could this be the problem? Should I configure for 800x600 only? However, 1024x768 works just find in Windows 98. Also, is there an X server that directly supports the video chipset on the SiS M598 motherboard? Lastly, should I expect the built-in audio on the board to work, or is it a lost cause? Any help would be appreciated. sanford
