by I've got a 2 Mo S3 Trio 64 graphics card that tuns fine in 8 bit mode.
When I try to run X in 16 bit depth, the screen just hangs black, which
forces me to kill the server.
(Using a good monitor, I read a "out of synch" on the screen).
Shame is that w*****s 95 runs fine up to 32 bit-mode !
Has anybody a clue ?
Here are the results of SuperProbe :
-------
