I install the Rehat 7.2 on my Gateway Laptop.
The X system doesn't work.
The Graphic card is
S3 Viedo Chip :Twister(380/387)
Display Memory size:8M 7104@0x90000000
 
The S3 Xserver doesn't support this chip. I would like to use the FBDev to drive the graphich car.
In XF86Config
I change the section of display as the following
###############################################

The X system cannot be initialized. There display
S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors
You must provide a "screen" section in XF86Config for at least one of the following graphic drivers: accel
Fatal Server error
No configured graphics devices.
 
What should I do? I know that the S3 server doen't work. I only want to use theFBDev driver. How to configure the XF86Config or other document to enable the frame buffer driver?
