First of all, Apologies for having mass mailed to xfree86@xfree86.org (I
couldn't find any other address).
Folks,
I would appreciate any help on the following:
I have a Number Nine FX Motion 771 card with 4MB RAM (S3 968 chipset, and
IBM 37RGB 524 CF22A RAMDAC), and a ViewSonic 21PS Monitor on a Pentium 166
MHz running FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE. The mouse is Logitech 3-button Bus mouse
(this also comes with an additional serial port attachment). I don't know if
it is relevant to include this, but here goes: The motherboard is the Iwill
P54TSW2 (Mine seems to be ok, but the reports I have from a couple of
friends on this MB is not too impressive.... broken serial ports, and IDE
controllers and absolutely no support at all from Iwill - Thats in case you
were looking for a MB, and had this in mind also).
I configured everything in xf86config and have included the file too for
reference here. The XF86_SVGA comes up with a 300x320 ?? resolution, but
none of the accel servers come up. I have included the errors reported when
startx is run (X is ln -s'd to the accel server for the chipset, XF86_S3).
If anyone has faced this problem before, or knows how to fix this, I would
appreciate a response to this.
Thanks in advance.
