Red Hat 7/viper II problems again...

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



Sorry for posting this all over the place, but i'm running out of time...

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.

Red Hat 7/viper II problems again...

I have Viper II - I've read on the XFree86 site that Savage2k drivers are not
stable for 4.0+. Why don't you DL helixgnome? It works fine here with the
SVGA.

Anyway, I would suggest you "downgrade" back to the 3.3.6 for the time being.
