A 486DX/66MHz with PCI? Well, the w32p was used on PCI cards, so it must be so. But I really don't trust that BusID... What does lspci say? I had a Tseng ET4000 (I think that's the chip name), but it caused hardware lockups when too much changed on the screen at a time (I could reproduce this with the BIOS menus), so I had to throw it in the garbage. I managed to make it work with XFree86 4.3.0, in a multihead configuration no less, but I only got a valid display one time in ten or so, and it would immediately halt the computer thereafter. But hey, I pulled it from a computer whose motherboard caught fire, so I couldn't really expect it to work right. :^) > I use xfree 4.1.0 (ltsp x core 3.0.4) and have tseng et 4000 w32p video > card. Can you take this opportunity to upgrade to 4.3.0? Compiling X on a 66MHz, is, to misquote Egbert Eich, "no fun." If you can make the binary elsewhere, you should be set. 4.2.0 made some "various updates" to the tseng driver (http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/RELNOTES2.html#3), which you are probably in need of. It could be that upgrading will fix your problem, so go for it. According to http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/tseng/ , the latest change to tseng (aside from removing an #ifdef) predates 4.3.0 by several months, but you should get the latest anyhow since the underlying PCI code, etc, has been updated. Lastly, I have been considering making a couple cheapie dedicated X servers for my house. Will a 486DX2/50MHz work? How about a 486SX/25MHz? Overclocked to 33MHz? -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://ioioio.net/ Engineers love to change things. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
