Problem with #9 FX motion 531

Post by Nicanor Colin » Fri, 29 Mar 1996 04:00:00



Hello,
I have installed  Slackware Linux distribution 3.0 in a 120 pentiun PC
with a PCI graphics card Number Nine FX motion 531.

X11R6 (version 3.1.2) works fine but when I switch from the graphics
screen to the text console or when X11 finish the monitor does not
return to the previous mode (wrong horizontal and vertical refresh
rates). I have tried with two different monitors (Sony 17SF II and CG&S
17" ergo Cariolato) with the same results. When I return to the console
text mode from a low resolution X11 mode ( i.e. 800x600 ) I get a
different synch but I still visible but if I return from a high
resolution mode (i.e. 1024x768 ) I get synch rate out of the monitors
range.
I have try the beta release 3.1.2D with the same results.

The XF86Config I use is the one automaticaly generated by xf86config
selecting the card #9 FX motion 531 (selection number 85):

Ramdac "att20c498"
Clockchip  "icd2061a"

Could somebody with this graphics card help me ??

Looking into the card I found the ramdac to be: att21c498
and the clockchip:                              ics9161a
I have tried with these values in the XF86Config without any improvement

To be more exaustive:
Chip:   S3 Vision 868
         IABE3
         86c868-P
         9524 20E01
Ramdac:  AT&T
         att21c498-13
         9445s
         45079743
clockchip:
         006757
         9520
         ICS9161A-01CW
In the ERPROM:
         MPDXP8680X
          2.04.03
         Motion 531 VL

The result of SuperProbe is:

S3 Vision 868
Memory 2048 kbytes
RAMDAC: AT&T 20C498?21C498 15/16/24-bit DAC w/pixel-mux
(with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))
 (programable for 6/8-bit wide lookup tables)

BTW could be a defective card ??
