Package: xserver-comm 4.3.0.dfsg Version: 4.3.0.dfsg Severity: important I've been trying very hard to get Debian to work on my Alpha machine, which has a DEC pc164lx motherboard and was assembled by Polywell Computers. The machine has the original Diamond Stealth 64 968 vram pci-bus graphics card with 4MB of vram. My understanding from the xfree86.org website is that this S3 86c968 graphics board has a ti3026 clockchip and a ti3026 RAMDAC.
The log report, with my current XF86Config file, indicates that the RAMDAC probe failed. The config file specifies the RAMDAC and I have also tried it without specifying this component. Debian Sarge stable is running very well, except that xfree86 won't run. This system is running on two scsi hard drives. The computer also has an 80 GB EIDE drive on which SuSE 7.1 is installed (out of frustration trying to get the Debian x-windows server to work). The SuSE installation runs fine with X using an SGVA server and my Viewsonic PT775 monitor at 1280x1024. However, Debian Linux is much better and SuSE no longer supports the Alpha processor systems, at least not at the user retail-distribution level. My SuSE release is 7.1 (2000). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: alpha Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-generic Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
