Description
Red Hat Bugzilla

Alot of the S3 Virge support has been rolled over into the SVGA server instead of using the old S3V server. Try choosing UNLISTED from the card selection list of Xconfigurator. Then choose the SVGA server. After that answer the remaining questions the same you normally would. When you startx it should say what card is detected and it should work. Let us know what happens. Xconfigurator on Red Hat 5.2 doesn't let me choose any card, it just detectes my card and forces me to go on with the installation. How can I choose the SVGA server? I apologize. I should have stated in my last comment how to allow you to choose from the list. When you insert the first boot disk and boot the system, you need to type expert at the boot: prompt. This will allow you to explicitly choose which server you want to be installed. |
