Help with Fahrenheit 1280 + VLB

Post by Simon Kacz » Thu, 29 Dec 1994 04:00:13



I have a Fahrenheit with a SC15025 RAMDAC on it. In all docs I see that
this card is supposed to have an AT&T 20C490. Everything works fine at 8
bpp but if I switch to 16 bpp, colors are messed up with the AT&T 20C490
and the screen goes weird with the SC15025 in config.

The only thing that is working is 15 bpp with the AT&T 20C490 (or 16
bpp and Weigth 555), but programs like XV doesn't support 15 bpp :-(

Anyone has the same problem? Any solutions?

Here is my XF86Config:

1. Orchid Fahrenheit 1280+/VLB - Xconfig help!

Hello.
  I'm having a bit of trouble getting an Orchid Fahrenheit 1280+/VLB
to work with Linux.  Garret Toomey's Xconfig
(aka xconfig-file-15 on sunsite.unc.edu) almost works, but has the
following strange effect..  It comes up fine at 1024x768.. except that
when an object such as xclock is anywhere on the righthand side of the
screen, the object appears in quad-licate (4-times) in a column-like
way on the right-hand portion of the screen..  Strange..  I varied
most of the relevant parameters, I think.. but with no luck.  Any ideas?

Thanks
