I just installed Linux RedHat 4.2, successfully - thanks to support from
this bulletin board; Now I am trying to configure X Windows, using
Xconfigurator. I have already SuperProbed my video card with the
following result:
S3 Trio 64V+
memory 1024 kbytes
RAMDAC: Generic 8 bit pseudo-color DAC

While in Xconfigurator I have tried using the 'generic' S3Trio 64V+
selection, but I get a message:
Server doesnt exist, cant continue.

I have also used 'unlisted card' and then I am asked which Server I
want. I have tried Mono, S3, VGA, and SVGA, and I always receive the
message above. 'Server does not exist'.

My computer is a 'Packard Bell' (Packard Hell) pentium 133. The video
board is integrated onto the motherboard (bastardized set up). So there
is no manufacturer for the S3 Trio 64V+ I can try.

Can you help me?? Am I stuck with a video card setup not supported by
Linux, even though it is a listed chipset??
Thanks

You need the server for your video card, I don't know of one for the
S3Trio64v. My friend has the same card and the S3 server didn't work for
him. I have a S3Trio64vu+ and the S3 server didn't work for me either. I
just got the SVGA server for now (and it works) untill i can find a server
for my card (if there is one). I can't remember where to get the SVGA
server, but it's filename is X3323SVGA.tgz, there might be a newer one, i'm
not sure. I suggest you try the SVGA one, atleast for now.
Hope this helped
