I am using a 486-50 with a Diamond Speedstar 24X video card and have
installed xfree86. I get the following error when I try to start xinit.
XFree86 Version 1.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
VGA256: pvga1 (mem: 1024k numclocks: 8)
VGA256: clocks: 25 28 78 0 26 29 0 0
Fatal server error:
There is no defined dot-clock matching mode "1024x768"
XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.
What I really think is odd here, is that the Speedstar uses an et4000
chipset. The server appears to think that the chipset it a pvga1 type which
does not appear to allow 1024x768. Any ideas or experience with the
speedstar 24x? Thanks in advance.
