Date: 10 Jun 1996 19:14:28 GMT Organization: Cinenet Communications,Internet Access,Los Angeles;310-301-4500 Lines: 15 Message-ID: <4phs6k$51e@marina.cinenet.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: hollywood.cinenet.net X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] I've got a S3 video card with the Trio64 chipset (Diamond stealth + Video). This card worked fine until I added 16 more MB of ram, I took it from 8 to 24 and the card quit working. About 1 time in 10 it'll come up and run fine, otherwise it hangs up hard. I tried turning off bounce buffers (I have a PCI SCSI controller) but I also have an IDE controller (does it do DMA?). Nothing seems to affect it. I know the X server maps the frame buffer to 0xf8000000 but since that's well out of range of the new memory I don't know what the problem could be.... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bob
