My STB Velocity 128 card has 8 megs of memory and Xconfigurator only recognizes 1 meg! This is quite unacceptable because my card is listed as being a supported video card. I downloaded the XFree86 3.3.3.1-1.1 updates, installed them, and now, after Xconfigurator finishes, it doesn't even run correctly when I do a startx. Error message is that it cannot connect to the X server, error number 111. So I resinstalled XFree86 from the RedHat 5.2 CD-ROM, and am back to having a "working" install with a "1 meg" video card again. Question: --------- Are there any alternatives to XFree86 which might actually support the STB Velocity 128 video card? If not, might there be a chance it will be fully supported in the next Red Hat release? In the meantime, although I like linux very much, I will probably go back to Windows 95/98 since they do support the STB Velocity 128 card. thanks, Lee Lynn Laramie, WY LeeLynn
Have you tried explicitly telling Xconfigurator that you have 8 megs of video ram? Run Xconfigurator with the --expert option so that you may have more control over the parameters.
