From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Hallo.I have downloaded and installed the Red Hat 8.0 Linux. I have the S3 Trio 64 Video Card; it runs correctly BUT when I change the work ambients (using Crl + Alt + FX), when I back to the graphical ambient, I see the screen "screwed up", I don't know how to explain, but always when i change the ambient and back to the graphic ambient (usually it is in F7 or F8) the screen is just " screwed up" and I have to kill X, no chance to work on it. I would like you to please see this bug. I had installed already a Red Hat Linux 6.0 and a 7.1 and this not happened. It only happens now that I've changed to the 8.0 version. Thanks Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Additional info:
I'm not familiar with the term "ambients", however it seems that you are refering to virtual consoles, and switching between them. Please attach your XFree86 log file and config file from the failing setup.
Awaiting requested file attachments before investigating issue...
In the Log files, EVERYTHING is ok. I solved this bug pressing [Ctrl, Alt +] simultaneously when I back to X11 virtual console. I don't know exactly what it does, i think it changes the screen. I need to change 6 times to back to the normal screen. PS: It only worked with resolutions HIGHER than 1024x768. Everything seems to be ok in the log files, but as I said when I try to change the virtual consoles and back to the x11's console, the screen seems to be totally "messed". The screen is higher and discolated to the right side, like 90% of the screen that appears in my Monitor is black and 10% is a part of the x11's screen. So I need to always press [Ctrl, Alt, + ]; it adjusts the screen, but it only works as i said with resolutions higher than 1024x768. So please check this. My hardware: S3 Trio 64 video card Monitor Phlips 107s frequences: Horizontal: 30-70 Vertical: 50-160 It just happens in RedHat Linux versions higher than the 7.1 (I tested that in the 7.3 and in the 8.0, but i don't know about the version 7.2). And the way to solve that is pressing 6 times [Ctrl, Alt, + ], but this way only works with screen resolutions higher than 1024x768. In the log files, everything seems to be normal. * But it isn't huh? * Thanks for the attention.
Please attach your XFree86 log file and config file from the failing setup as has been requested above. These are *required* in order to fix the problem, regardless of what might look useful or not, without those files, there is absolutely nothing that I can do about this problem. I need this information as soon as possible, or this problem will not be fixed in time for our next release.

There are hundreds of video cards named "S3 Trio" and not all of them are the same. Also, they do not all use the same driver. Without any further response from you I am unable to fix this problem. I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX for now. If you are still interested however, and can attach the requested information and reopen this report, I'll be glad to investigate the matter further.
Well I am sorry because I have just re-installed the Linux RedHat 8.0 now, because I was using the version 7.1, the lastest that works with my video card. So when I saw your request I had to get the 3 .isos of the RedHat 8.0 and have just finished to install now. But if you are still interested I will send my log and config files ASAP. My Video Card is: S3 Trio 32/64

Created attachment 89587 [details] Log 2/2 Here they are. And sorry for being late, but as I explained it taked time (1 day) do re-download RedHat 8.0 and installed it.
Thanks. Can you try using the "vesa" driver, and report back if that works for you or not? Also, can you supply the output of "lspci -vvn"
Well, I am still new in Linux so I don't know how to do it...can you explain me please?
