From: J.W.Fransen@dutdfs1.CED.TUDelft.NL (Jan Willem Fransen) Subject: Problems S3 (86c805) Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1993 14:51:27 GMT
When I use the XS3 for X-windows, X starts but the screen and menu's gets
garbled with all kinds of letters.
I use a HP 486/33 with a S3 (86c805) with 512 Kb with a HP 17" monitor
I use the the following statement in Xconfig:
virtual screen 640 480
vender nolinear (I also tried without)
modes "640x480"
modeDB
"640x480" 25 640 680 776 800 398 412 414 449 (I used vgaset, I also tried
default VESA)
X-windows start with these settings, the mouse works, the menus open and start
but the screen gets garbled with letters. I also used different resolution,
same result. The x386mono works just fine in 800x600.
Anybody have the same experience, or even better an answer ?????
Thanx
Jan Willem
