Request: help with Xconfig file [NEC 3D & ATI Wonder(18800 V5 chipset)]

Post by Raja Sar » Fri, 22 Jul 1994 01:13:43



Hi All,
    I am new to linux and recently installed Slackware2.0 with XFree86
package. I had to run MakeCard to create the database entry for my
video card and monitor (the database did not have it). I have cycled
through the different modes but seem to have no luck to get a clear image
(The screen is filled with broken up images/pixels), this happens under
monochrome server too.

    Is there someone who has the following hardware configuration
that runs XFree86 under linux and, can share with me their Xconfig ?
(The sample xconfig files under slackware package does not have one
that I could use.).

           Brand:      Gateway2000
           Processor:  Intel 386/25MHz, Intel 387/25MHz.
           Video Card: ATI VGA Wonder (ATI18800 chipset, version 5)
           Monitor:    NEC 3D MultiSync
           Mouse:      Microsoft two button mouse.
           XFree86:    2.1.1
           Linux:      Slackware 2.0

   Why does it complain "not found" when I define Emulate3Buttons ?

Thanks in advance.

There are known problems with the 2.1.1 vgawonder driver for your board.
These problems will be resolved in 3.1 when it comes out.  In the
meantime, you will probably have better luck downgrading to XFree86 2.1.

1. Need help with XFree86 v3.1 - XF86Config for ATI Wonder, 18800-1 V5 chipset.

Hi,
  I am having trouble configuring X windows with ATI VGA Wonder graphics
card.  I got the Clocks from README.ati and seems like the XF86_SVGA seems
to recognize them, however I cannot configure the correct modes. I have
tried most modes but always get the "mode not found" error message
(the actual error message has the mode name and not found message on it).
Could someone with ATI VGA Wonder card and has X running clean help me
with their XF86Config file. It will help me create a config file for
my setup.

                                This is my Configuration
                    -------------------------

            System:   Gateway2000
            M. Board: Micronics board, Intel 386DX/25MHz
            Monitor:  NEC 3D
            Graphics Card: ATI VGA Wonder with 512K RAM, 18800-1 V5 chipset,
                           (actually "vgawonder" variable is recognized by
                            XF86_SVGA and XF86_VGA16)

   I accidentally blew my old XConfig for XF86 v2.1 away. So I don't even have
   a reference to start with.

PS: I apologize for cross posting this request, but I am desparate to reach
    someone with my graphics card.

Thanks,
-- Raja
