Mine is a 4Meg card. The "no_linear" option will get rid of black-spots and
what I call crumbling... if you move an object around, the video becomes less
and less stable and details become blacked out.
Some of the other options I found have no noticable effect whatsoever
Now I just have to fix my vid tunings, but otherwise, it is very stable now.
The vid tunings are being a royal pain in the you-know-what since the only one
I've been able to match clock-speed/resolution is 1160x1024, and that is just
too damn small. The clock speeds for 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 is faster
than the modes that end up being chosen, so I get the screen "way over
there..." and when I center it, it becomes bowed.
My hardware is good, btw... it works perfectly under Windows. In fact, it is
so clear I am disappointed that I can't get X to do that right now. :) So if
anyone can provide me with some good vidtunings for higher the clockrates, I'd
really appreciate it. If I remember, I will post what they are set at later
tonight when I get home.... and I will include the Options stuff for those who
are having problems getting it to look stable.
Anyway, I hope my "no_linear" tip helps out the folks who have had that
particular set of problems.
Laters,
Karsten
