X-Configuration Problem

by mmcdade . Updated 23 years, 2 months ago

I’m having a problem with my X-configuration. After the “Test this configuration” failed, I reinstalled Linux w/o X-configuration and manually ran Xconfigurator in root. Linux seemed to pick up my card (Rage 128):

“PCI Entry: ATI: Rage128 SM
X Server: XF86_SVGA
XFree4 driver: r128 (default)”

I then selected my video card memory: 32MB, which Linux defaulted to (I also tried all the variations less than 32MB, after that failed). I chose my monitor and resolution (it was in the list: “AOC Spectrum 7Vlr/ 1024×768”). Finally, Linux ran its test and let me know that there was a problem with my X-Configuration. I went back and tried a bunch of different memory selections & screen resolutions — same X-Configuration error message. So…I went back to the command prompt and ran SuperProbe. Interestingly, this is the report I recieved:

“First Video: Super-VGA
Chipset: ATI (chipset unknown) (Port Probed)
Signature data: 3f3f0000 (please report)
Memory: 0 Kbytes
RAMDAC: Generic 8-bit pseudeo-color DAC
(with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))”

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
