VESA supports all but a very few old (and weird) cards. However, because it is completely unaccelerated, it's the choice of last resort.

There is a list of video cards? Thanks, Joan. -----Original Message----- From: Malcolm Edwards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: segunda-feira, 1 de outubro de 2001 7:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Newbie]configuring VESA driver It finally works - although I still don't understand exactly. I ran Xconfigurator and chose "unsupported VGA card" instead of the one at the end of the list, then managed to write a XF86Config-4 file. XF86Config only seems to work for 3.3.6. Changing the driver to vesa, it works. It seems weird that none of the configuration programs can do this properly. Anyway, thanks.
