- I have a no brand S3 911 VGA card, and I got the following error
- when I start XS3 0.3.1 (on SLS with 0.99 kernel)
-
- Unknown S3 chipset: 82
-
- Any clue what's the reason?
-
- Although X seems run smoothly and fast (compare with the damn
- Open Desktop).
-
- I've also grabbed Xfree86-1.1 from ftp.robot.uk.ac, but it never
- reports the clock setting of my VGA card, I use the following
- command line:-
-
- startx -- ./Xfree86-1.1 >& out ; sync ; sleep 1 ; sync
-
- But Xfree86-1.1 reports that no supported chipset is found and die!
-
- Moreover eventhough I run XS3 0.3.1, the startup message said it's
- 0.2 alpha, is it normal?
