Hi,

I'm still trying to get my PCI SiS 5598/6326 video card to work on ML9.0.

Yesterday Mike suggested that I configure it as 'vesa', but from the X
Configuration install step, that selection is only available under XFree-4.
I tried it anyway, and got the following errors:
 (EE) no core pointer device specified
 (EE) Unable to determine the screen layout

I also tried choosing XFree-3 server SVGA, and got the error
 Config error /etc/X11/F86COnfig.test:10

I also booted into console mode and ran xf86config.  I think I entered the
right numbers, but couldn't figure out how to get XFree-3 to run.  Startx
seems to run XFree-4, and I get the same errors (no core pointer, etc.) as
when I tried to configure at install time.

Can anyone 'splain to me how to configure X to let me use the card
generically?  This is frustrating, since I really only need the same kind of
resolution that the install program has.  Everything looks hunky-dory until
I configure X.  How do I get X to use the same video mode as the
installation program?

I found a framebuffer HOWTO that seems to list my card as VESA 2.0
compliant, but I don't understand how to use the info in the document to
make a xconfig file, or to pick the right arguments for startx.

Thanks,
Tim
