Just yesterday, I acquired the complete X386 1.1a binary release; I ftp'ed X11R4fonts.tar, X11R4core.tar.Z, and the tar file that contains the updated 1.1a server and Xconfig file. (Naturally, I replaced the server binary and Xconfig file with the newer versions.) My system runs ISC 2.2 UNIX. I have a Paradise VGA 1024 card, which I assume uses a PVGA1A chipset. My monitor is just a standard 640x480 analog monitor (not a variable frequency monitor), so I want to use the 640x480x256 mode of the PVGA1A with panning. I uncommented the appropriate line in Xconfig for PVGA1A, which follows: PVGA1A 512 864 606 25 28 36 "640x480" I commented out all other chipset entries. Then, I commented out all resolutions except for: "640x480" 25 640 672 768 800 480 490 492 525 My mouse entry is: BusMouse 3 "/dev/logi" (as I said, I have a Logitech bus mouse). The server comes up just fine (and more quickly than ISC's, I might add :-) ), except that my screen is "tiled"--a portion of the screen is repeatedly overlaid all over my monitor. This portion of the screen is itself properly displayed...it's readable, and the fonts and lines are correct. When I move the cursor off the edge of the screen, the display pans properly, too. It's just that the tiling persists. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to how I might rectify this problem? I feel like I'm "so close" to having it all work, but that either some small bug or some small oversight on my part is responsible for my trouble. Replies by email appreciated; I'll summarize. -- Brad Karp, (203) 436-3060 (voice) | The views expressed in the text my 386: karp%softshop.uucp@cs.yale.edu | you have just perused are not my via Yale CS Dept: karp-brad@cs.yale.edu | own; rather, they are those of the Box 2443 Yale Station, New Haven, CT 06520 | heavenly muse who sings in me. -JM

Thus the driver won't work for this board. But there will be support for the WD90C00 in X386 1.1b. - Thomas -- _______________________________________________________________________________ E-Mail (domain): roell@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.de UUCP (if above fails): roell@tumult.{uucp | informatik.tu-muenchen.de} famous last words: "diskspace - the final frontier..."
