Under DOS it >supports up to 800x600. What would the Xconfig file look like? It is possible, I know I'm using just that type of board right now. Getting it up and running was a feat though since the X386.0 doc file has a small misprint. The Chipset is not pvga. It's pvga1. Anyway, under the line in /usr/X386/lib/X11/Xconfig VGA256, add, `chipset "pvga1"`. You will need a 512k board. There seems to be a problem with 800x600 mode that causes pixels to be misplaced in the center 1/3 of the screen. 640x480 works fine. Anybody out there might have a fix for that? >-- tore Have Fun, Chuck Sites chuck@coplex.com
