I know this has probably been beaten to death, but could someone give me a list of VGA cards supported in the current version of ESIX (or tell me what card you are using and what your experiences with it are)? I tried calling ESIX's advertised support number, but I haven't gotten past their answering machine yet. I would be particularly interested in being able to use the 1024x768, 16 color mode. There are several cheap (< $150) Trident chipset cards floating around which claim to support 1024x768 graphics. Has anybody had success using them with ESIX? Thanks in advance for your help, Paolo Coppi coppi@tapir.caltech.edu

I tried I have a Video 7 VRAM with 512K capable of 1024x767 but ESIX only support 800x600 in X11. > interested in being able to use the 1024x768, 16 color mode. ESIX does support Orchid Prodesigner 512K at 1024x768. > There are several cheap (< $150) Trident chipset cards floating I don't know about Trident chipset but there are some clone out there that have Tseng Lab chip set (Ultra is one of them). I have not test it out yet, but I think it should work as Orchid. I have seen ad for as little of $165 for 256K and add $30 for 256K so it comes to $200 for a clone that have Tseng Lab chip set. > around which claim to support 1024x768 graphics.

In fact, we are running ESIX with the Orchid card at 1024x768 and using Princeton Graphics Ultra 16 monitors. So far, everything looks good. -- Win Strickland Internet: win@audiofax.com Director of Product Development UUCP: emory!audfax!win AudioFAX, Inc.
