Re: [TCLUG:6960] Setting up Diamond SpeedstarA50 in AGP slot?????



Aside from all the techno mumbo-jumbo, AGP doesn't really differ all that
much when it comes to X configuration.  Naturally, there's some
differences, but the real problem boils down to whether or not the chipset
on the display adapter is supported by X.  In your case, it is.  Check
with the documentation in  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.SiS (assuming
you've got the 3.3.3.1 docs installed) for information on setting up and
optimizing your card:

"       o SiS recommended video modes for 6326:
        o    640x480  : 4, 8, 15, 16, 24 bpp at 85Hz Non-interlaced
        o    800x600  : 4, 8, 15, 16, 24 bpp at 85Hz Non-interlaced
        o   1024x768  : 4, 8, 15, 16, 24 bpp at 85Hz Non-interlaced
        o  1280x1024  : 4, 8, 15, 16, 24 bpp at 75Hz Non-interlaced
        o  1600x1200  : 4, 8  bpp at 65Hz Non-interlaced"

Read the section "Troubleshooting" for information on your particular
pickle.
