1. Mach64 WinBoost with XFree86 3.2 problems
Perhaps someone can help me here. I upgraded to XFree86 3.2 and am
attempting to use the Mach64 accelerated server. Apparently the video
card is not being initialized properly; when I start up a variety of
window managers (e.g olwm, fvwm-2, twm, etc.) upon startup the colors
are all screwed up, and many of them are black, making it somewhat difficult
to use! Quite by accident I discovered that setting and applying the window
manager properties in olwm fixed the colors; switching to fvwm and then back
to olwm resulted in the fixed colors being retained, but quitting X and
restarting olwm resulted in the screwed up colors again.
System is Linux 2.0.0, 16 MB, PCI bus Mach64 WinBoost graphics accelerator
card with 2 MB dram. I believe this uses the ATI 88800GX-D chipset and
the ATI 68875 ramdac.
Other relevant info: the 3.1.1 accelerated server works fine with this
card and that is what I am using to get work done (with appropriate mods
to XF86Config), while the 3.1.2 server had a problem with screenblank that
I never did resolve. Also I tried adding the "no_block_write" option for
the 3.2 server because I saw a reference in the release notes to
initialization problems being solved by this (for a different chipset),
but this had no effect on the screwed up colors.
Please forward replies to me via email to ensure that I don't miss them.
Many thanks,
Dan Eldred
