During the install when X is being configured, an error message is displayed stating that the amount of video RAM could not be detected. This message occured on three different video adpaters, each had 32MB of VRAM.
Which make of video board was this? Please report the make and model no.
Video adapters tested: Diamond Viper V770u based on the nVidia TnT2 w/ 32MB video ram Diamond Stealth III S540 based on the S3 Savage 4 w/ 32 MB video ram ATI Rage 128 GL 4x based on the Rage 128 GL w/ 32 MB video ram
correcting erroneous assignment to pbrown.
I installed the new Xconfigurator 4.2.3-3 on my Linux box. After the installation I tried to use the Xconfigurator to properly configure my Diamond Viper 770u video card with the TnT2 chip. Xconfigurator still fails the memory probe and after I select the settings, it fails when it tries to test the setup. By failing in this case, the little box that says can you see this is nearly as large as the entire screen. After this, if I skip the test and let it write the XF86Config file, I can go in and set the chipset to rivatnt. After manually changing the XF86Config file, X works. Basically, I saw no change between the old and new Xconfigurator. Xconfigurator's tried are 4.2.3-1 & 4.2.3-3. The video cards is configured with 32MB of memory.
fixed for the next release.
