Hi Xperts!
I bought a Compaq EVO n115 some time ago, and I just felt like exchanging this ***** Windows XP Home with a little bit more powerful GNU/Linux and - of course - XFree86 ;). Just everything went fine until I came to configuring XFree86. It was even impossible for me to startup the graphical configuration system. Every time I launched X it told me I have a S3 card but XF86 can't recognize the CARD ID (i.e. unsupported card). When I later installed XP Home again :( I can see in Windows that the card is referred to as "S3 Graphics Twister K Compaq". A few days ago I have to call the Compaq support, as my laptop used to overheat and turn off after some hours of work (less than 5). I referred my problem to him - without expecting any proper answer ;) - about the missing driver for XF86 for the S3 Card/Chip. This guy was funnily enough amused by my problem as the specs showed him, that they do not deliver S3 cards with their evo n115 laptops. The specs says I (uu-huuh) have a "VIA ProSavage KN133". Does anybody know what shall I do to get my S3 Graphics Twister K Compaq card to work in XF86?
