[comp.unix.i386] X11 ISC ORCHID VGA and BOOT floppy

fritzz@lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu (fritz zaucker) (10/12/89)

Hi,
has somebody X11 under 386/ix ver.2.02 and a Orchid Prodesigner
VGA card running in 1024x768 mode (Nec 3D Multisync)? It looks
terrible here. I also don't succeed in running it in 800x600 mode,
simply nothing appears after xinit. It runs fine in VGA (640x350)
mode.

Second:
My Boot-floppy doesn't boot anymore. I get the message:

NOTICE: no space on floppy disk unit 0, partition 2

Help needed !!!

Thanks a lot 

Fritz

It sounds like you messed up the boot floppy.  Hopefully this is just a backup
copy and you have not been booting off of your original copy.  

If you need to fix this one, do the following:

	fsck /dev/rfd0
	mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

	cd /mnt and look around for extra files that you don't need.  You might
		want to do a df to see if the fsck fixed the problems you were
		having.

I am running X on a Orchid Prodesigner and Orchid 800 w/512k in 800x600x16 color mode.
At 1024x768x16 the color map is really messed up and needs to be manually set. 
Interactive's code for that mode is REALLY slow, especially with a background pixmap
like xphoon.

We have the ProDesigner Plus (512K), and use Interactive's X just fine
in 1024 x 768 on our Mitsubishi DiamondScan.  We've never had any trouble
with it.  Haven't gotten around to installing the X3 update yet since our
disk seems to have suffered a concussion on it's way to a demo.
