Try finding all the things in your xlog file that come up as "(--) probed" and set them up manually in your X config. I read of a few cases like yours in which the auto detected was not picking up the video ram and chipset properly. Does all this look right: (--) PCI: (0:11:0) 3DLabs GLINT R3 rev 1, Mem @ 0xdffe0000/17, 0xd8000000/26, 0xd4000000/26, BIOS @ 0xdffd0000/16 (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 86C326 5598/6326 rev 11, Mem @ 0xcf000000/23, 0xdfaf0000/16, I/O @ 0xac00/7, BIOS @ 0xdfae0000/16 (--) Chipset SIS6326/AGP/DVD found (--) Chipset pm3 found
Let me know if it's helpful setting your VideoRam (as in http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/glint.4.html) and your chipset manually. -M ________________________________________ From: ASIF IQBAL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2004 7:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Michael Hamilton Subject: Re: [XFree86] [XFree86 on Solaris/X86] (EE) GLINT(1): Cannot read V_BIOS(3) � Hello!
