Problem configuring XFree for Diamond Viper

Problem configuring XFree for Diamond Viper

Post by Alexandre Jose Reis Santo » Wed, 15 Jul 1998 04:00:00



I recently bought a new Diamond Viper V330 card (PCI, 8 MB) and an
IIYama VisionMaster 17 monitor.

I downloaded XFree86 3.3.2 and tried to get it up and running. I used
XF86Setup to create the XConfig file with multiple resolutions:
800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024. Everything seems to work fine, except
that at the 1280x1024 resolution (the one I want to use), I get
horrible screen noise/flicker every time I move the cursor.

Has anyone had this problem? Any idea what I could be doing wrong? How
to fix it?

Any help would be appreciated,

If you could tell me how you got it running at the other resolutions, I'd
appreciate it!  I'm using a Viper 330 on a Shuttle Hot-603 motherboard
with Red Hat 5.0.  I cannot seem to get X running in any mode outside of a
default 320x200 graphics display.  I'm using the XF86_SVGA server and a
17" monitor that I have the specs for.  When I exit X, I can read the
messages it left on the tty screen - they basically call the Viper 330
chipset an unknown chipset, and that's what I think is forcing the server
to the 'generic vga' mode.  During the X setup under xf86config, I do
select the Diamond Viper 330 as card 148, so it should be recognised by
the server.  But I do not select a ramdac - did you select a ramdac during
your setup?

1. problems configuring X with diamond viper 2 videocard

Help!!

I am installing X-server on a pc with a diamond viper 2 videocard,
after starting my screen looks good. At least until all windows
are loaded. Now when I move a window, my screen becomes one big mess!

Can anyone who setup this card before send me his XF86Config file or
tell me what went wrong?

I tried to manually add the card, but the S3 Savage2000 is not in the
list so I chose the one from the Stealth III. The refresh rates are
manually entered acoording to the specifications of the manufacturer.

Thanxx

Stefan
