- I currently have X running on my PC, but only in 640x480. However,
- my Diamond SpeedStar 24X is supposedly compatible with the Paradise
- chipset, so I was able to bring up X in 800x600, but it was interlaced.
- Now I'm trying to set it up for 800x600 non-interlaced. I would appreciate
- any suggestions on how to do it. I especially would like to know how
- other people with the 24X video card have set up X. In addition, I would
- also like to know how people with Paradise cards currently have X configured.
- Are they get an interlaced mode running X in 800x600?
-
- I also have several questions about X that hopefully someone can answer.
- 1. What exactly are the 'clocks' numbers in Xconfig? Do these numbers have
- to be in any particular order? How do these numbers apply to each video
- mode?
- 2. How do you set up Linux so xdm starts automatically?
- 3. And, can someone point me to where I can get the wd90C00 video driver
- for X?
-
- Thanks!
