There's about two million different cards used in Presarios. Try the
following drivers, but I'm only taking guesses:

ati (Mach64, Rage 128, Radeon)
trident (CyberBlade i1/i7)
nv (RIVA TNT, Vanta LT, GeForce2 MX, etc)
savage (if any of them used S3 Savage cards. Dunno.)
mga (G100/200/400/450. I wanna say one of the older models shipped with a
G100, but I'm not sure)

Send the output from "lspci -v" and "scanpci -vv" if you're not sure what
card you have.

Subject: [Newbie]Display problem



I am attempting to load Linux onto a Compaq Presario with a 17" Sony
Trinitron monitor.  I ajve a problem with screen resolution.    When Gnome
or KDE start, the screen appears very large.  I have to scroll to see the
entire screen.  I have tried removing the references to the 320X200
reloution, but this doesn't work.  I can't cycle through other screen
resolutions either, even though I have selected them on set-up.  I think
the problem maybe with my video card selection.  Does anyone know which
card I should select for Compaq Presario's?
