problems with diamond viper II on Red Hat 7.0

Post by Robert A. Smit » Sun, 01 Oct 2000 04:00:00



I've just managed to get red hat 7.0 downloaded and installed. I am now
having problems with the diplay.

I have been running RH 6.2 with XFree86 3.3.6 for some time and have had no
problems using the SVGA server as recomended for the viper II/Savage2000
chipset. However RH 7.0 with XFree86 4.0.1 loads fine, but as soon as i try
to move a window or scroll the whole display breaks up and the window is
split all over different areas of the screen.

I'd be really grateful if anyone knows how to fix this, as i need to start
using linux for uni work real soon. At the moment the system is completely
unusable.
