Message-ID: <1993Jun6.134807.439@mycroft.DIALix.oz.au> Reply-To: philsuth@DIALix.oz.au Date: Sun, 6 Jun 93 13:48:07 GMT Lines: 20 I've recently acquired an un-named clone S3 video card, bearing only the model number VI-900. It sports an 86C911 video device and 1Mb of VRAM The clock generator IC appears to be an ICS-2494M chip, being run from a 14.31818 Mhz crystal. Thus far, I've had little success using the card with XS3 on my 386bsd 0.1 system. Although I don't currently have the XS3 source on-line, I suspect that the clock chip differs from the usual, and that this is causing my problems. Before I start diving into the video BIOS armed only with a disassembler, can anyone confirm or deny my suspicions? Thanks in advance phil -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Sutherland Perth, Western Australia philsuth@DIALix.oz.au
