Very Computer

Hello out there,
I bought a Spea V7-Mirage P-64 2MB card.
Can somebody send my the decent configuration for this card.
I tried for several days and there is/was nothingelse than 640x480.
The other resolutions show only a green screen.

Any comment will be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Wolfgang

I'm currently using XFree86 3.1 with Linux 1.1.8x and the Spea V7-Mirage P64
2MB card (PCI version, Micronics M54Pi Mainboard) with the following device
entry in XF86Config:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Spea Mirage P64 2MB"
    VendorName  "Unknown"
    BoardName   "Unknown"
    VideoRam    2048
    ClockChip   "ICS2595"
EndSection

The S3 accelerated server recognizes all other parameters like RAMDAC type and
S3 chipset type itself. I only had to specify the "ClockChip" line to make it
work. My monitor timings are the following:

Modeline "640x480"     31.5   640  680  720  864   480  488  491  521

Modeline "800x600"     50     800  856  976 1040   600  637  643  666 +hsync +vsync

Modeline "1024x768"    85    1024 1032 1152 1360   768  784  787  823

I think these are the VESA standard timings for these resolutions (for a 64kHz
Monitor). There is a big listing of video timings shipped with XFree86 so I
only listed the ones I use.

My Screen Section's like this:

Section "Screen"
    Driver      "accel"
    Device      "Spea Mirage P64 2MB"
    Monitor     "Diamond P766D"
#    Subsection "Display"
#        Depth       8
#        Modes       "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
#        ViewPort    0 0
#        Virtual     1024 768
#    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600"
        ViewPort    0 0
        Virtual     1024 768
    EndSubsection
EndSection

It's currently configured for HiColor. If you want to use 256 colors,
uncomment the concerning lines. I didn't find a way to change the color depth
while XFree86 is running. The resolution can be changed with
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<+>/<-> on the numeric keypad.

I must say that I am running it at 16bpp as I have some problems with the 256
color mode: the vertical lines on the screen seem to have different widths.
The problem does'nt occur if you use 16bpp color depth. When I'm running
Windows, there aren't any problems. I don't know where it comes from...

But as the 16bpp work fine, and the card's pretty fast, I don't care.

So, bye for now!
