RH6.0, Cirrus GD5434 on-board video card problems

RH6.0, Cirrus GD5434 on-board video card problems

Post by Brendon Roger » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00



Please help!

I am about to use my Compaq Prolinea as a fishing weight!!!

When starting X-windows I get corruption on the screen. When  I close X, the
image corruption follows onto the command-line. Rebooting corrects the
command-line corruption.

I have installed RH6 with no problems, when running X configuration tool it
correctly picks up the Cirrus GD5434 and installs the XF86_SVGA server. I
have upgraded XFree86 to 3.3.6, tried various entries in XF86Config
(no_bitblt, no_imageblt, sw_cursor), tried various resolutions but still the
same problem!!!

I have even got my hands on S3 PCI video card, installed this and disabled
the onboard video card in the BIOS. If I run the X Configuration tool, it
still picks up the (disabled) Cirrus. If I manually configure the XF86Config
file for the S3 card it works fine - until I reboot the PC. Somehow the
on-board Cirrus card is being re-enabled!!

Any ideas would be more than appreciated.

1. Problem With On-board Video Card For Intel Desktop Board D865GBF

Hi,

Has anybody managed to install Debian on the Intel Desktop Board
DB865GBF Motherboard and successfully run either Gnome, KDE or X
Windows?

When attempting to run one of these I get errors due to incorrect
specifications of the graphics card.

If so could you please let me know the settings.  I've tried every
setting under the sun with no success.

Cheers,
Matt
