XF86 help for Compaq-Oak-Matrox-OTI087 card

Post by r.. » Sun, 01 Oct 1995 04:00:00



I've just installed Slackware 2.3.0 on a Compaq machine, but the
graphics card doesn't seem to be recognised correctly by XFree or
SVGAlib. The card is a PCI Matrox QVision 2000, with 2MB ram.

SuperProbe reports it as an Oak OTI087 with 64k ram, 6 bit DAC.
SVGAlib can't identify the card, even with OAK chipset setting in
/usr/local/lib/libvga.config.

XFree3.1.1 can't probe the card to determine the clocks, even
when told that the chipset is OTI087, nor can it correctly determine
the size of the ram on the card.

Is this a problem of the PCI card, or something more sinister...?

Has anyone got this card working with XF86/SVGAlib, and if so,
_please_ send me XF.configs and SVGA.configs...

1. SVGA OAK oti087 - Compaq Deskpro XL / Matrox vision HELP!!

I recently have been trying to port my linux system to an
Compaq Deskpro 560 XL. It nice but I am confused  trying to set up X.

        The video is built-in and compaq says its a Matrox Vision 2M.
Superprobe reports it to be an OAK with chipset of oti087.

I guess the question is can I do better than VGA mode with this card?
Has anybody else tried this?

Is there a commercial X that supports it?.

I have read that no Matrox cards are supported. Is this true?

Is this card in the deskpro really a matrox?

Any help is welcome. PLease e-mail if possible.
