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.
