Hi *,

I know this subject had been beaten to deadth.  Since the
info I collected is NOT suff., I have to ask again.

Recently, I purchased an Orchid F1280+ (a S3 801 chipset).
I got XS3-0.3 from sunvis and installed it.  So far, with

Clocks: 0 7 13     and
ModeDB
1024x768 7 1024 1064 1224 1264 768 776 785 817 Interlace

I can run Xfree86 1.2 with some success.  However, I still
have some problems. (BTW, I run 386bsd 0.1)

1. As you know, it's in Interlace mode.  How can I make it run
   at non-interlace mode??  I simply copied those clock index from
   a README file.  I don't know what's the EXACT clock frequencies
   they represent.  I believe, according to Orchid's manual, I
   can run 1024x768-non-interlace at 70Hz.

2. After exiting X, the text screen is toatlly unreadable.  Is there
   a way to fix this??

3. Can someone mail me the Xconfig file and tell me what are the
   clock frequencies that I can play with??  From 'startx >& err.log',
   I got

   0  99
   1  7f
   2  84
   3  99
   4  85
   5  19
   6  2f
   7  ed
   8   8
   9  60
   ......

   I don't know if these are helpful.  If yes, I can provide the whole
   file.

Thanks in advance!!
