by I was lent a motherboard by my boss when mine went
to motherboard heaven, it has onboard sound and graphics card
which was great when I put the machine together, there wasn't
the usual fight will all the wires and card shuffling,
of course that was the pleasure this is the pain:
X reckons it's just a vga card, and I can't
for the life of me get it to think it's anything else
svgalib told me or rather detected a Trident chip
so I have gone with this on the xf86setup card seletion
no 142 if I remember correctly.
I would turn the chip off and plug my Diamond Stealth 3d 2000
which worked perfectly before, but disabling the on-board vga
results in a large number of warning beeps when turning the
machine on and nothing coming out of the diamond.
Has anybody else had difficulty or better success with
an onboard graphics card?
