Description Motor 2000-10-29 07:55:10 EST

During a fresh installation of RH7, the graphics card - a Matrox G200 8Mb
SDRAM - was correctly detected. Unfortunately, when I started the XServer,
it was extremely slow - I could literally see the pixels of icons being
drawn.

The system is an Intel Celeron 333, 192Mb RAM with 8G hard disk. The card
functions correctly under 6.2 (this is still on the machine in another
partition).

I eventually got things running normally by asking X to generate a config
file by itself.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-12-20 08:29:58 EST

Are you using XFree86 3.3.6 or 4.0?
Does running Xconfigurator fix the problem?
Xconfigurator --preferxf4?
Xconfigurator --preferxf3?

Comment 2 Motor 2000-12-20 18:46:02 EST

Using XFree 4.0
I fixed the problem by running "X -configure" and using the resulting config
file.

Looks like you got it going ok..
