The only thing that makes me hesitate is that my card : is a brand new : Diamond Stealth 64 Video 2mb VRAM PCI - which uses an s3Vision968 chip. : : I looked at the FAQ's and documentation, and this chip is not officially : supported in XFree 3.1.1, though the earlier s3 chips are. It suggests that it : will recognise the s3 968 (which is not quite mine), though behaviour is : unknown. : : Questions are: : 1. Has anyone else out there have any experience with this card and Linux, or : otherwise know if it will work? : 2. Will Xfree 3.1.2 officially support my video card? Take a look at: http://www.diamondmm.com/linux.html for information from Diamond on using their cards in XFree86. It has all of their current cards, but not their older cards (Like my Diamond Stealth Pro).. -tji -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd Ignasiak Ford Motor Company tignasia@tcs.fs.ford.com Telecommunications Services
