Hello,

I am working with WINLINUX 2000 (2.2.6 kernel) using KDE.  I have a S3
Savage4 (AGP) video card and the display is off.  My computer is an AMD K6
III 400 mhz with 64 megs of RAM.  Things I have tried...

* used the S3 Savage 3D driver and it works but only in 4 bit color mode.

* used the S3 86C391 (Savage 3D) driver and that works in 4 bit color mode
only.

* used the standard SVGA driver and it works great even the mouse is faster
but the resolution is so high I can only fit 4 icons on the screen.  I tried
to change the resolution in the configuration utility but it seems to have
no effect.  I tried to use the CLT-ALT-'+' or '-' and that is not working.

Please help

Rick
