From: cap2624@ultb.isc.rit.edu (C.A. Peskin) Subject: Diamond Viper VLB compatability? Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1993 22:42:35 GMT
I read in one of the Linux intro read.me files that Diamond video cards
are not supported by X windows for linux. This is because Diamond
Systems will not release the information? has anyone pursued this
information? I have just ordered the Diamond Viper w/2mb VLB, and was
hoping it would be compatable with linux. Will I be able to run
X-Windows in a non-SVGA mode sucessfully? Or will the card not work at
all under X-windows? Anyone happen to write a driver?
Please respond soon, because if I am going to change the card, I should
do it in the next day.
Thanks!
