Does anyone have any information or experience with a Trident 1MB vga card? In particular, is it compatible with any of the chipsets supported by Roell's X386 server? These seem to be one of the most readily available and cheapest 1M vga cards in Sydney at the moment (about A$220 => US$170). Thanks for any information.

Actually, would it be too much to post (or mail me, if you don't think there's enough interest) a list of the more popular cards supported by the Roell server? Most glossy sheets I see about VGA cards don't mention the chipsets they're based on. -- Evan Leibovitch, Sound Software, located in beautiful Brampton, Ontario evan@telly.on.ca / uunet!attcan!telly!evan / (416) 452-0504 Vanilla Ice is a few cubes short of a full tray...

These seem to be one of the most readily available No, definitely not. Perhaps this board will be supported in a coming release, but it will still be MUCH slower than an ET4000 board. The reason is the braindamaged memory-management on TVGA8900 chip. - 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..."
