 Hello all!

I have a Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro card that I want to get to work for
Xwindows.  I have found a X server, but need to know how to get the
setup software to know it is there.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

I'm not entirely sure how I got my  Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro to work
under RH 5.1, but it went something like this:

-) Installed XSuSE driver
-) Ran the XSuSE X configurator script, but it didn't work.
-) Ran RedHat's x configurator script and it almost worked,  but some of
the files were not in the expected paths.  Created symbolic links (Note:
the oposite of a "hard" link is a "symbolic" link, not "soft") to fix
that problem.
-) Configured and mostly up. Hand edited /etc/X86config to clean it up.

Highest resulution of card still not suported, but I don't think my
monitor could handle it anyway.

The bottom line was that it was not clean, but it could be hacked.

Hope this helps,

1. Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro XServer needed!

Im relatively new to using Linux, and just got a new vidcard for my
Win95 box, and want to install Linux on it as well.

I have a Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro 8MB PCI Video card

it uses the following:

3dlabs Permedia 2 Chipset
integrated GLINT Delta geometry processor
230mhz RAMDAC
Horizontal - 31.5 to 111.1 kHz
Vertical - 60 to 120 hz

Can anyone suggest an XServer for using this card?
Thanks,
