(sorry for my english, but i don't speak it very well)
Hello people of the Xfree86 proyect:
I send this e-mail because i think, that are some kind
of error in the support for my
videocard in the XFree86 4.x.x versions (my videocard
is a S3 Trio64V2 DX/GX with 1 MB
of videoram).
I think that is an error because i had installed
various distributions of GNU/Linux without
problems, but with the XFree86 3.3.6 version by
default.
When i install Red Hat 8.0 whith the XFree86 4.2.x by
default, my videocard was detected but
when the instalator tried to probe the configuration
(next to select the right frecuencies
of my generic monitor) the screen goes black and
nothig happend, next the instalator goes back
and continuos. So i continue the instalation with
those parameters, but without pass the probe.
When the system was instaled i had obteined this:
#startx
No ha podido iniciar servidor X, instalelo con una
nueva configuracion
(in english: Had't start X server, install it with a
new configuration)
*ddcprobe has returned bogus values:
ID: DEC780c
Name: None
HorizSync: -268377405--268370093
VertSync : -268370093--268378284
the system stays some time like this them give the
next messages.

I thougth that was a miss configuration problem or a
Red Hat 8.0 problem, but when i install
Linux Mandrake 8.2 the instalator gives the option to
install the XFree 4.2.0 or XFree 3.3.6
version. When i select the XFree 4.2.0 version in the
probe of the configuration the
instalation crash. But when i select the XFree 3.3.6
version and later probe the configuration
the instalation continuos normally. This makes me
think that are a problem of the support of my
videocard in the XFree86 4.x.x versions.
Well thanks for take the time of read my e-mail, and
sorry if is a problem solutionated.
If are some none trivial way of make my videocard
works with the XFree86 4.x.x versions
please make me now it.
Bye.
