by Hello all,
I have a permedia-based card, PowerColor Permedia C300, 4MB, with a
220MHz ramdac. I would like to use an accelerated X server to take
advantage of the card, but failing that, any server that will let me run
at 1280x1024x16bpp. I am running RH5.0, unpatched.
It seems that the XFCom_3DLabs server from Suse is the only possible
accelerated X server, but I am having problems running it. Following is
the output from running startx after configuring (sort of):
--- [ startx output ] -------------------------------------
XFCom_3DLabs Version 4.21/ X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: 7 September 1998
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
Operating System: Linux 2.0.33 i686 [ELF]

Permedia chipset, but something else is going wrong. Running startx
like this always produces a core file:

ramdac/clock options, chipset id, etc, but I am willing to learn. I
simply need some guidance as to where to start. Any help in this matter
would be appreciated.
