Xfree 86 works fine with Cirrus CLGD5422, 26, 28 cards. I use an ISA 5422 card
, it took me a while to configure it but now I have it. First off, you will
probably need to force it to 1meg video ram (assuming you have it), mine
would only see 256k until I told it otherwise. Next, the 542x series use
12 clocks number 1...12 rather than MHz numbers for the clocks. For
1024x768, I think it is clock 9 that is best. This depends on your monitor too.
There is a program in the Xfree 86 1.3 release that tweaks the scan
parameters needed to set a monitor type.
Sorry, I am in Windows right now and I can't get to my Xconfig to enclose it.
Does X support the highcolor or truecolor modes on the Cirrus chips?
