I have a Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM with XFree86 3.12 and I used the XF86Config
program. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

You may also need 'option "slow_vram"' if you're running at 1024x768 or
greater. Some people also seem to need 'option "dac_8_bit"' for reasons
I know not.
From the Diamond Multimedia page (http://www.diamondmm.com/linux.html),
extracted from someplace in the XF86 distribution,
Section "Device"
Identifier "Diamond Stealth 64 VIDEO VRAM (968)"
Option "dac_8_bit"
Option "Diamond"
EndSection
Be sure to visit Diamond's XF86 page. They have a counter on that page,
perhaps because they'd like to gague the relevance of Linux support.
Cheers,

1. Problem with Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM / XFree86
I have a Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM 3240 (TI RAMDAC) video card
with 2Mb RAM. Under XFree86 3.6.x using the SVGA driver worked
fine for 1152x864 16b color depth.
Now, it is no longer supproted by XFree86 4.3.x as an S3 card.
(SVGA driver does not exitst anymore in this version)
I have to use the vesa driver with a resolution 1024x768
Vesa does not support 1152x864 (?).
Can anyone think of a way to get my video card to 1152x864 ?
..or
Does anyone know how to get my video card to use the S3 driver
without crashing on the RAMDAC probe of XFree86.
Rolf
