[XFree86] Dell 2350 with ATI Xpert 128 PCI

[Stephen Wolfcale]

Hello,   I have a new Dell 2350 with integrated Intel 845 G/GL Video and RH 8.0.  After checking various newsgroups and help sites, the consensus seemed to be that the BIOS video RAM setting must be increased from the default 1 MB before Xfree 4.2.x.x will work.  However, Dell does not provide that option in the BIOS.  Dell did recently release a BIOS upgrade which allows a PCI card to be used so I have upgraded the BIOS and installed a ATI Xpert 128 PCI video card.  The card detects correctly but I get the error:   Couldn't start X server, etc. *ddcprobe returns bogus values: ID: none Name: none etc.   and finally,   Error, cannot start X server.   I notice that if I reload the box from scratch it still tries to probe the integrated video chip and I wonder if this error is related to it probing the wrong device?   If someone can tell me what to vi I would be very grateful--I have been working on this box since Christmas!   Thanks, -Steve     Stephen Wolfcale [EMAIL PROTECTED]
