- XFree86 gurus, please help!
-
- I have XFree86-1.1 running on my Linux system in monochrome 640x480 generic
- mode. I WOULD *REALLY* LIKE TO GET IT RUNNING IN 1024x768 noninterlaced, 256
- COLORS.
-
- Problem is, I have a Compaq QVision 1024/e (Triton) EISA video card. I
- installed the mit X11R5 and XFree86-1.1 sources, but have _no_idea_ what
- I need to do to add a support for a new card. I *do* have the technical
- reference manual for the card, and it seems to be very complete.
-
- If someone could give me some advice, I would be very grateful.
-
- Also, the card has a BitBLT engin, line drawing engin, hardware graphics
- cursor, and support for tiling. I presume that there is no way to take
- advantage of these without extensive modifications of the server.
-
- How does one go about adding support for a new graphics card to the server?
-
- Thank you in advance for any help!
