SVGATextMode Chip ?
I have a SR9 Number 9 video card. I am trying to setup SVGATextMode for this new card. Anyone have this card and know what Chipset I should uncomment in TextConfig to get the card working? When I use S3Virge I get UNknown CHip ID 22e1 I have the S3_Virge chipset set in X11 and it works fine. Right now in TextConfig I have Chipset "S3" Clocks 25.175 28.322 40.00 0.00 50.00 77.00 36.00 44.90 Clocks 130.00 120.00 80.00 31.50 110.00 65.00 75.00 94.50 # For some S3 cards: pick one of the following clock chips (or RAMDAC's with # integrated clock chip). #ClockChip "icd2061a" #ClockChip "ics9161a" #ClockChip "dcs2834" #ClockChip "sc11412" #ClockChip "s3gendac" #ClockChip "s3_sdac" #ClockChip "S3Trio" #ClockChip "S3Virge" #ClockChip "ti3025" #ClockChip "ics2595" #ClockChip "ics5300" #ClockChip "ics5342" #ClockChip "ch8391" #ClockChip "stg1703" #ClockChip "ti3026" #ClockChip "ibm_rgb5xx" Lance
