From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Taxan Crystalvision 620 LCD TFT Xconfigurator problem
Date: Fri, 04 Jun 1999 15:25:59 GMT

I can not see/utilize the whole of my screen. In fact, I can not see
GNOME's or KDE's taskbar. I am not in scrolling mode which is usually
solved by pressing CTRL ALT + (or -). The only resolution I am able to
"run" X is 640x480 at 8bit and that's dreadful, mate!
HELP!
I wanna be able to see the whole of my screen and run X at
640x480@75 Hz NON INTERLACED
800x600@75 Hz NON INTERLACED

Both modes can be used in Windows95.
My graphics are supplied by a SIS 5598 chip on the motherboard using
4MB of system RAM.

My PC is a DESKTOP Cyrix 233Mhz. My shop is very small so I had to get
a Taxan Crystalvision 620  12.1 inch Monitor TFT LCD colour screen
whose technical specifications are as follows

Riva TNT 2 works well with Slackware 4.0 under the SVGA server.

I'm running xwindows in -- -bpp 32 without difficulty after using the
patches found on the nvidia homepage.

There is a mention of 0669 ESDI drive in Cross Reference Index page
http://www.ibmparts.com/ibmparts/disk.htm = refers to Model 8580.
115MB  5.25" form factor  6450377  90X7392  0669  ESDI  found in search.
Believe this hard drive is the type with separate signal/control cables.
If that's the one you have, the data in Scott Mueller's book says:

Drive Capacity      115 mb
Drive Interface     ESDI
Average Access (ms) 28
Encoding Scheme     RLL
BIOS Type           none
Cylinders           915
Heads               7
Sectors/Track       36
Rotation RPM        3600
Interleave Factor   1:1
Data Transfer Rate  1080k/sec
Auto Head Parking   yes

No. There are a few things you have to change and a few more
you may want to change, but when I went from kernel 2.0.34
to 2.2.1 it was surprisingly painless.
