I had a couple of questions about X Windows with a few different video cards:
1) I am using a generic Paradise (Western Digital) color SVGA card with
256k of RAM. When I load X (startx), it first comes up in grey, then
switches to color. Then, all sorts of weird lines come up when I try to
move a window. Also, areas of the screen are not updated properly. I am
using the '00' WD setup (I think the full name is wd30c00 in Xconfig, not
really sure).
2) I know that currently there is no support for ATI Mach32. When will
support for these cards be available? Also, what about support for the
Hercules Graphite (IIT's AGX chip).
3) I am very new to the Unix world, and was wondering if there is a way to
make X look like Solaris 2.2 (or something similar -- from what I have
seen, it looks pretty dull).
Thanks for any replies.
