Very Computer

I have a problem.  I am hoping that someone went through the same so
that they know exactly what I am talking about.  

I have an STB Horizon 64 PCI video card.  I have Linux running, but I
can not get my X-windows to work.  After attempting to start X windows,
the screen turns black, with a number of vertical white lines.  I tried
all the options, played around with all the possible setup options but
nothing changes.

I would REALLY HONESTLY apreciate all the help I can get.  Even though
the configurator gives me STB Horizon as an option, it does'nt seem to
recognize it.  

Please help!

Won't work, probably never will; I think that the Horizon 64 PCI uses
dead technology.

Interesting. I think that I got it to work in VGA mode.

Don't bother, it doesn't support it either.

It looks like Xinside supports the STB Horizon 64 PCI (and the Sierra
Falcon 64 chipset).  See http://www.xinside.com/board/bdindex.html
