by hi
I am trying to install Linux on an HP Vectra 486 PC
according to the HP config disk,
the video card is a
HP Super Vga D2382A
according to SuperProbe it is a
Video7 1024i HT208A
The card has 256k Ram
I am using XFree3.2
The configuration obtained by XF86Setup, telling it it is a video7,
crach the machine.
The configuration obtained from xf86config gets
600x400 600x480 out of XF86_VGA16
320x200 out of XF86_SVGA
Since the video memory would be enough to get 600x400 with 256 colors,
I would really love to get 600x400
I have tried with the XF86Config that I summarize here at the end,
inserting the Clocks found in README.Video7
either I do not get the resolution, or the video card goes crazy,
and even if I exit from the server, I see only white circles instead of
characters
and I need to reboot.
I have tried to add the lines
BoardName "video7"
Chipset "video7"
Any help REALLY appreciated
thanks

this is the XF86Config
