I'm trying to install MDK 9.1 on a VIA C3. I get an insmod error during hardware detection when it reboots, but I don't think that's my problem (I can't find anything in the logs about IO or IRQ errors).
If I use a 15" CRT monitor, the install seems stable. If I use my LCD screen, it crashes very soon after login. I set the monitor to generic (there's no DVI input on it) 1280 x 1024 x 24bpp, and I'm wondering if this is too high a resolution for the graphics chipset. The chipset is an onboard Trident Cyberblade i1. I think it uses 8MB of shared RAM, and the Trident site talks about up to 1024 x 768 for TFT. I see application crashes, kernel panics and XFDrake crashing with this error: "xfs is not running at /usr/lib/libDrakX/Xconfig/test.pm line 47" If there wasn't enough graphics RAM, surely it would just refuse to start?. What can I do to zero in on the problem? Is anyone else running this chipset at this resolution? Richard -- "Get up and turn I loose"
