Mail from ILUG-BOM list (Non-Digest Mode) _______________________________________________ Sir, I am using RedHat 6.2 as well as Windows 98. My PC configuration is Pentium MMX 200MHz 4.3 GB HDD 64 MB EDO RAM S3 Trio 64V2/DX display card with 2MB VRAM Opti-16 bit sound card (ISA) Samtron 14" SVGA monitor. The system works fine except the display in Linux. The Linux kernell doesn't accept my card to be S3 card. Instead it warns me that its a pirated card and Chipset is SigmaDesigns RealMagic 64/GX(SD 6425). There is no driver available on the system for this chipset. and it can't work with S3's X-server. The kernell also doesn't accept my VRAM to be 2 Mb. Hence I have to configure it as a generic VGA card with a 16 colour display resolution of 640x480. The worst thing is that the same card works absolutely fine under Windows98. I can easily get a resolution of 800x600 at 32 bit colour depth. Because of this I can't use any Linux applications like Vmware, StarOffice,etc and Games. Please help me. kshitijv e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------- Feed Your Greed !!!
