Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a 75MHz Pentium using a Diamond Stealth
64 graphics card with 2Mb of memory. I can get X to start up and use
the full resolution of my card (1280x1024). The problem is that after
a random amount of time the display locks up and I get parallel verti-
cal coloured lines and the only way to recover from this is to reset
the beast. I'm using the S3 server (version 3.1.1) and I've even tried
re-making the server using the gnumalloc library, but in the words of
Catweazle ("Tshk! Nothing works!"). Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks in advance.
Peace ..,
\z\(gr>
