Hello,
I'm having a difficult time configuring X on Mandrake 6.0 Here's the
lowdown:
PII 300Mhz/128MB
NEC Multiscan 3V Monitor
Elsa Gloria-L 16MB Video Card (Glint 500TX Chipset from 3DLabs)
--------------------
For some reason, I get a fatal server error of "No GLINT/PERMEDIA based
card found" yet it appears the X server probes and finds the accelerated
3DLabs GLINT graphics adapters.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. I can't wait to get Gnome
running :)
--------------------
I'm using the current 3DLabs X server with the following symbolic link:
/usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_3DLabs
--------------------
Here's my startx output errors:
XFree86 Version 3.3.5 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: August 23 1999
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.2.5 i586 [ELF]
Configured drivers:
