by I have a 16MB PCI Banshee card working with XFree86-3.3.3.1, but
I'm of the opinion I need to do something to "improve"
performance.
Currently I'm using a server obtained from Creative Labs.
I want to download 3.3.3.6 or whatever is the latest XFree86 but
I don't see an all-in-one package at xfree86.org. I see servers,
and I see PC98 servers, and then I see a bunch of other files. I
saw that the latest version of xfree86 is supposed to support the
Banshee, but what server do I use? XF86_SVGA???
As for the errors, the one I'm curious about is to do with DGA
extension failure:
XFree86 DGA frame buffer is banked (bank size 2621440 < memory
size 16777216). XFree86 direct graphics (DGA) initialization
failed.
The above is from vmware 2.0 beta. I also get a similar error
when trying to run kwintv.
Should I really be using the frame buffer server? Are there any
problems I should be aware of if so? I thought I had read
previously that only 8bpp was supported or there was some strange
problem with it.
Thanks in advance,
Paul Nixon
