- Can anybody out there help me. My linux setup is as follows, and I'm having
- great trouble getting X to work in the SVGA modes.
-
- Viglen 33Mhz 486 4Mb 100Mb hard disk
-
- Paradise 512k SVGA - (unusual in that the card combines VGA, IDE
- and floppy controller on one card)
-
- - this could be the problem.
-
- If anyone has got X to work in either 800/600 or 1024/768 SVGA mode I would
- be very greatful of any hints on how I can get the thing to work. An Xconfig
- file would be even better !!!!!!!
-
- On a slightly different note, I am planning on a few upgrades to my machine,
- the first two being another 4M ram and another largish hard disk approx
- 170M. The other item I'm considering is an IDE caching controller, does
- anybody have any experience of using this under Linux (compatability
- problems ? etc ....). I would be interested to hear your views.
