-
- I have also experienced this problem, but have been unable to fix it. I
- have an ET4000 with latest drivers (4.0.3 patch 20ish (up to 24)) but have
- had the same results. I have tried different cards (two Tseng ET4000
- and one clone ET4000). The only difference is that I have problems
- with the actual mode itself. 1024x768 is garbage. Though this changes
- with the slot the video card is put into.
-
- This makes me beleive that the problems exist with the Motherboard and
- X software that is supplied with ESIX sVr4.0.3 and sVr4.0.4. If they
- have been changed with the up and comming release of sVr4.2.x - we'll
- just have to wait and see.
-
- Esix's stand on the position is unknown - I have faxed them a report
- on the problem twice with no responce, and have mailed it once. (I
- refuse to ring Esix from Australia and wait forever on hold!!!). My
- next choice is to replace the Motherboard - but thats more money.
-
- My thoughts are: If you are thinking to run Esix's X, make sure your
- machine isn't 'incompatable' with it. I am disappointed with the so
- called support they advertise with the product, and I will not upgrade
- to a later revision of Esix anything - but rather look around the
- market for other Unix's....
