Diamond Stealth 64 video vram

Anyone out there help?

I have a Diamond Stealth 64 video VRAM card and an ADI microscan 4V 15"
monitor.

I managed to get some sort of config working slightly, but X windows was
off centre, and the resolution was crap. I tried altering to a higher
res, but with no luck.

Anyone got a working config file or no where I can look for further help?

Cheers

Paul

In the xf86config file find the section that specifies your card.  Under that
section add a line that says something like "Option=Diamond".  Sorry I can't
remember the exact (or correct) syntax as I'm not at my Linux box.  When I
added that option my screen was centered and also not "wrapped around" to the
right side of the display.

Hope that helps.

I have the same video card, but with a 17" Princeton Monitor.
My 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 screens were all off at first.
Use "xvidtune" to make adjustments to your XF86Config modeline's.
The Option=Diamond line made no difference in my system.

1. Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM or ATI Graphics Pro Turbo (Mach 64)?

I'm looking into getting a Micron P120PCI Millennia Plus system for
running Linux and XFree86. The Micron upgrade choices for video cards
are:

 - Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM    - 2MB or 4MB
 - ATI Graphics Pro Turbo (Mach 64) - 2MB or 4MB

Which is better supported in XFree86?

Is there any significant speed difference between these two cards for
XFree86?

I've heard that some cards run faster w/4MB than 2MB due to memory
interleaving or double wide bus access.  Do either of these two cards
have this property or is the only difference for these cards the
number of colors supported at higher resolutions?

Thanks,
Doug
