Date: 07 Mar 1996 19:51:33 -0600 Organization: owlnet.rice.edu Lines: 27 Sender: zoran@cs.rice.edu Message-ID: <e3wu400mjx6.fsf@cs.rice.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.rice.edu X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.0.13 Hi! I have a 486 VLB with 16 MB RAM, and a Diamond Speedstar Pro (not SE) grafic card, with 1MB ram. I tried to get 16 bit colors on my X windows, but system just crashes when starting. I tried configuring "linear" mode and different base addresses, but it didn't work. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? It shouldn't be a hardware problem, since Windows 95 can do 800x600 in 64K colors and 640x400 in 16M colors without any problems ...
