Hm... The BSDi BSD/OS book, on page 17, says that 86C928, 86C964, and 86C968 are supported at 1600X1280 resolution, however, it is not true. I bought two new Diamond Stealth 64 VIDEO VRAM (S3 86C968-p), the Xsetup says that the chipset is not supported. So, I went back to the dealer and changed one board to old Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (S3 86C964), the X is setup, but then resolution has only 1280x1024. I try to modify the source, oops, the Xccal is not in source distribution. Would some one there please tell me how I can make my Diamond Stealth 64 boards working?
