Hmm... I couldn't find the original message, so I'm replying to this one... Let's go through this step-by-step: > > (--) SVGA: S3 ViRGE chipset: please load "libs3v.a" module Ok, the X server is XF86_SVGA, and it detected a S3 ViRGE chipset. Fine. > > (--) SVGA: CHIPS: chip revision: 6 > > (--) SVGA: Chipset: ct65530 Now, this is where it starts getting weird. It _also_ detects a Chips & Tech. ct65530 display adapter. Very strange. > > (--) SVGA: CHIPS: no monitor detected.

It looks like it wants to say 'PCI Bus', but the C gets dropped. Strange. > > (--) SVGA: CHIPS: Depth 16 only supported with linear addressing This is letting you know that c&t (as with some cirrus cards) won't work with >=16bpp unless you specify "linear" in the /etc/X11/XF86Config. Normal, but not for a system that has been setup properly for a c&t card. > > (--) SVGA: chipset: generic > > (**) SVGA: videoram: 4096k Here, we see a _third_ video adapter getting detected.

It looks to me like there might be an onboard c&t adapter on the new motherboard, or a second card. Check under /proc/pci and see what devices it finds... Look and see if more than one display adapter is getting detected. For the record, what kind of video card do you have? -- ______________________________________________________________ | ian eure, network admin, freelance security consultant, and | | manically depressed paranoid schizophrenic, at your service. | ; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://minion.org ; : raw speed = 105.6 wpm with 4.5% errors : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
