Mandrake 7.1 on compaq presario 12XL222 Problem to...

Hi everybody, I've just installed linux on ASUS 7300, with a 1024*768
LCD and a Silicon Motion LynxEM video card, but I can make xwindows
work. can anybody help me? do I need particular drivers or software?
Thanks in advance.

Mine reports an 8-bit wide lookup table, but other than that it's
word-for-word.

I didn't have that option; Windows doesn't live here.

The error I got was when the section of /etc/.XF86Config looked like this:

|# Device configured by xf86config:
|
|Section "Device"
| Identifier "Trident CyberBlade (generic)"
| VendorName "Unknown"
| BoardName "Unknown"
| #VideoRam 4096
| # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
|EndSection

The X server would give me this output:

XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System

[normal startup stuff snipped]

XF86Config: /etc/XF86Config
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values

[snip remainder]

but when I edited the same section to read:

|# Device configured by xf86config:
|
|Section "Device"
| Identifier "Trident CyberBlade (generic)"
| VendorName "Unknown"
| BoardName "Unknown"
| Chipset "CyberBlade"
| #VideoRam 4096
| # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
|EndSection

it ran fine at 800x600x16M.

If that didn't help then I'm afraid I've just run out of ideas. Sorry.

First, thanks for this advice.
I have just tried it but unsuccessfully.
I tried the command " SuperProbe" and the result is :
­-

First video: Super-VGA
Chipset: Trident (chipset unknown) PCI Probed
Signature data: 85201023 (please report)
memory: 2048 Kbytes

RAMDAC: Sierra SC1148{2,3,4} 15-bit orSC1148{5,7,9}
15/16-bit Hicolor
(with 6-bit wide lookuptable (or in 6-bit mode)
­-

Windows 98 see the chipset Trident CyberBlade i1 AGP(77)

An other idea please ?

Regards

Gerard
