> Hi Listpeople !
Now i am NOT a X_pert, however possably your question was beter sent to the
"linux-x11" mailing list, having said that, most of the guys there are
subscribed here so you should get more suitable answers than i can give.
I dont have your model of S3 i have a S3 Trio64V+ with 4 mb. I had troubles
with my card, it was not supported by my version of the server. After an
upgrade it worked.
I suggest you take a look at
http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/XFree86-HOWTO.html
http://www.ccil.org/~esr/xconfig/video-modes.html
XFree86-HOWTO.gz
INSTALL.TXT on a Redhat cdrom.
The most important URL (cant find the proper URL) would be xfree itself, its
something like xfree86.org.
Hope this helps.
