Hello,
This is my 1st post....
I just installed Mandrake 6.1 this weekend on a PC with a Cyrix 333Mhz, 32Mb
RAM, 6.4 Gb HD, 44X CDROM, and 4Mb APG SiS 5597. When I select SiS5597 as
the graphic device during istall, the test of X displays graphics ok but
text gets displayed as black boxes and is unreadable. I ended up installing
the 16 color VGA driver and would like to try changing it to the SiS5597
driver. Is anyone aware of a problem with the on-board SiS 5597? Is there
another driver that will work? Is there something I can adjust in the CMOS
that will fix this problem? Is there a generic SVGA driver that will get me
800x600x256? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony Zoccolillo
