That's all.  That should solve all clock problems on a Stealth card.
When I was setting up my system, I didn't realize that the line was
"Clockchip" instead of "clocks" which always screwed me up.
Make sure you have it right.

I'm not your * boy.

I read in the INSTALL doc that linux did not support Diamond cards, so I was
content with the text mode.

Thanx in advance....

Hi!  

I would like to get cyrillic fonts to appear in any x-window (especially
an emacs window), on demand.  How can I do this?

thanks.

hi again! I got X windows working with W32, but it appears that the resolution
is only vga16 or mono. The X Windows works with both, but I wanted at least
800x600 with a min of 256 colours. the default settings for 800x600 require
a dot rate of 18. But the command X -probeonly shows that the card supports
22 xx xx... ...xx 28

Any workaround for this?
thanx

: hi! I have a Diamond Stealth 32 Card with 2MB ram too. I missed the beginning

AFAIK, the "icd2061a" clockchip setting only applies to the S3 server
and hence S64 NOT S32 as discussed here.

but....., xv crashes sometimes. I have 8 MB RAM and 10MB swap space.
