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. The 968 is supported by the more recent versions of Xaccel. BSD 2.0 came with Xaccel 1.2 Beta/1. You need at least Beta/3 for 968 support. The current version is Beta/5. -- Srinivasan Seshan ss@cs.Berkeley.EDU University of California Berkeley Ph: +1(510) 642-8248 Computer Science Division, 387 Soda Hall Fax: +1(510) 642-5775 Berkeley CA 94720 http://http.cs.berkeley.edu/~ss
