XF86Config for Diamond Stealth 64 VIDEO VRAM VESA

XF86Config for Diamond Stealth 64 VIDEO VRAM VESA

Post by Al Simc » Tue, 09 Apr 1996 04:00:00



I hv recv'd many requests for my "XF86Config" file.
I have successfuly configured my system as indicated below:

-Slakware vesr 3.0 with the 1.2.13 kernel
-X vers 3.1.1
- Diamond Stealth 64 Video 2 meg VRAM VESA bus
- MAG MX15F monitor
-DOS box  486 DX4 100   8meg ram

I D/L'ed "X312DS3.tgz" file.  From ftp.XFree86.org in the ELF directory.
This will yeild a file called "XF86_S3". This is the newest S3 server. It
has better support for the Diamond cards. Install this file and "link" it to
 your current server or let the "config86_____" script file do the linking
for you.

Run "SuperProbe" and "-probeonly" scripts. NB. Note down all useful
information. Make sure that you have your Video card and Monitor manuals at
hand. YOU WILL NEED THEM!

Diamond seems to change the hardware on this card from time to time. Your
Chipset and DAC may be different from mine. Check before you use my
settings. The "option" setting will have to be edited in by you. Your
"option setting" may be different than mine. You will know if X does not
boot properly. (Nothing in life is simple.) 8-[

colors.

If anyone needs any help, please E-MAIL me.

XF86Config for Diamond Stealth 64 VIDEO VRAM VESA

Post by Matt Hartl » Fri, 12 Apr 1996 04:00:00


Here is mine, since it is a common question.  I run in 800x600 with
65565 colors.

Note the line I changed was changed because initially the screen was
off to the right (monitor problem??) so I changed some of the values
in increments of 8 until I liked where the screen was.  Be careful when
modifying this file, and def. MAKE A BACKUP
