by I have tried the suggestions in recent messages on how to get
XF86_SVGA to run in 320x200 mode, to no avail. It starts running, but
the screen that comes up is just a bunch of vertical white lines
(though the server and clients are there!). My XF86Config has these
sections:
Section "Device"
Identifier "generic 256 VGA color"
Chipset "generic"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
Device "generic 256 VGA color"
Monitor "Nokia 447x"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
ViewPort 0 0
# Virtual 320 200
EndSubsection
EndSection
My setup is this:
Linux 1.1.53
486/66 w/ 16 megs o' ram
Number Nine GXE Level 11
Nokia 447x monitor
XFree86 3.1
IDE harddrives
note, I have X symlinked to XF86_SVGA and it clearly parses output
correctly, which I dump here:
