The problem is that there is no trident driver for my XGI Volari V3 video card for use with Xorg. There is one from the XGI site that is an .RPM which I converted into a .deb but then didn't know how to try and implement it. The .rpm version of the driver is located Here: http://www.xgitech.com/sd/sd_download2.asp
XGI says that it only supports Xfree86, so I converted Edgy to run on Xfree86 instead of xorg, but that didn't go so well because I still didn't know how to use the downloaded and converted driver after i installed it. If there were a "how to" that explained step by step how to do this successfully it would be nice. Is there a way to use xfree86 and Xorg simultaneously perhaps with xfree86 master and xorg slave? I haven't found enough information on the subject. If there is a way and I had access to the info I could write a patch script and upload it. Thanks again for the support I greatly appreciate it. P.S. the trident Volari XP5 driver works in Edgy, except that I cannot move anything on the desktop or scroll upwards without problems. Scrolling down works fine. Though I don't think it should work at all. I don't know enough, and can't find info. -- Video card no longer supported by Ubuntu https://launchpad.net/bugs/86550 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
