- I've got a Paradise SVGA card in my machine as well (a WD90C20 chipset).
-
- By trial and error, I discovered that if I stuck a:
-
- Chipset "generic"
-
- into the Xconfig file, then X works just fine in mono mode. If I leave
- the Chipset out of the Xconfig file, X386 tries to use Paradise SVGA video
- calls, that don't seem to work with my "version" of Paradise SVGA.
