- Has anybody gotten the Trident 8800(512k) video card to operate under
- Linux's (SLS) X386 enviroment?
-
- Either 16 colours or monochrome mode would be great.
-
- Monochrome:
- I have tried to start X windows in monochrome by:
-
- cp Xconfig Xconfig.color
- cp X386 X386color
-
- cp Xconfig.mono to Xconfig
- cp X386mono X386
-
- startx
-
- I get an error unable to find a VGA256 driver???
-
- Why is it still looking for a 256 colour driver or compatable card?
-
- The monochrome Xconfig has no "vga256" area in it.
-
-
- Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
-
-
- Thank you,
- Rick Munn.
