Very Computer

I tried to install RH6.2 on my computer with a Trident 975 AGP chipset and
it won't do graphic install... I
installed earlier on on Mandrake 6.5 and I get similar problems... X just
either freezes or the resolution really sucks on a generic driver. Anyone
has encountered this problem before? My monitor is not a listed monitor but
I keyed in every information as stated in the manual but to no avail... Hope
to ehar from some kind soul... been really stuck with this problem for a
long time already. Thanx in advance.

Trident strikes again... I have the same problem as have 4 guys who posted
in here recently.

Why is the 3DImge 975 even listed as compatible with X? It isn't, at least
not without major work...

Uh... I beg to differ..

didn't even have to tweak the XF86Config, except to enable the mouse wheel on my
Logitech... ::shrug:: Mebbe it's another issue, and not the card.

Don't get me wrong, Trident DOES suck, but it's cheap, and really, who needs a
*good* graphics card in a machine that's only set up to do fileserving??

But it did work right out of the box on 3.3.6

I do too - *blush*. Managed to get mine going too - only in 640x480 so far,
but it works! It seems to have a problem with 16 bit color, forcing it to go
to 24bit is fine. Fanx for your help earlier!

32bpp. I

Guess so... works now in low res at least!

Thanks for your help,
