Hi guys, I've installed Mandrake Linux 8.1 (default installation). I'd like to use the XFree86 4.1.0 as its driver status shows:
4.1.0: Support (accelerated) for the ViRGE, ViRGE/VX, ViRGE/DX, ViRGE/GX, ViRGE/GX2, ViRGE/MX, ViRGE/MX+, Trio3D and Trio3D/2X is provided by the "s3virge" driver. Support (accelerated) for the Savage3D, Savage3D/MV, Savage4, and Savage2000, is provided by the "savage" driver. Support for the other S3 chipsets has not yet been ported. Summary: Only the ViRGE, Trio3D and Savage chipsets are supported in 4.1.0. All of the other chipsets are supported only in 3.3.6. Well, I can't do that. Everytime, the XFree recognized as "default" for this board the XFree86 3.3.6. When I uninstall it and try to use by force 4.1.0, the system asks for the insertion of the CD1 to install XFree86 3.3.6. On Mandrake 8.1, I can't use xf86cfg either. It crashes, with a segmentation fault message. Does it happen to everyone? At RedHat 7.2, does the same thing occur? I go to configure it manually, editing XFree86config. In the section "device" I put s3virge. Nothing happens. In fact I don't even what I must do. And I continue using the 3.3.6, without anti-aliasing fonts and icons, thus I could once make my system thought I have an S3Virge video card. At this time, everything worked well (I mean anti-aliasing and other features). I had a little problem with sound and had to reinstall the system entire. I couldn't make that again. I'd like. it seems for a moment I could use the s3virge driver. Could you help me?
