Has anyone configured XFree86 for Diamond Stealth 32 PCI graphics card (it has
W32P chip which is backward compatible with ET4000), and logitech trackman
trackball on COM2?

I cannot seem to get it work.

I would like to see this posting too! I don't see a Diamond Stealth 32
mentioned anywhere in the X benchmark postings, only Diamond S3 cards...

Anyone out there have a Diamond Stealth 32 working under X???

Isn't there a mention that GNU will not support companies like Apple, Diamond
etc. that have proprietary hw/firmware/sw? I remember reading somewhere
(over a year ago) that Linux will not support Diamond for the same reason!

But then again, I have been known to be wrong before!

I have a Diamond Stealth32 PCI working OK'ish using the XF86_SVGA server

I'll post my config if anyone's interested

Nick

By all means, post - might I trouble you to email a copy this way as well?

As of a month ago, the How-To's said that this is still the case.  I have
heard rumours of a change, however.

Most certainly... I would think that a Stealth 32 with VLB bus would
be the same.

Here is my config that seems to work ok with the SVGA server

Are you using a 1MB board? Just checking here, I have a 2MB.
I will try, try to twiddle and tweak, and post if I have success that is
different from this.

Your "from" and "reply-To" addresses both bounce.
What program is "/home/ccnjb/diamond/freq" 28?

I have also been fiddling with the W32 server ....
this config sort of works :-)
