Hans,
I swapped out that video card for one with specs seen below. Also, I
installed a PCI nic Kingston brand. When I invoked the startx command I got
the following:
(--) SVGA: PCI: S3 Trio32/64 rev 84, Memory ~~~~~~~~~~~
(--) SVGA: chipset: Trio64v+ rev. 54
(--) SVGA: Using new style S3 MMIO
(--) SVGA: bus type PCI
(--) SVGA: Ramdec type: S3_trio64v+ or compatible
(--) SVGA: Max RAMDEC speed for this depth: 0 MHz
Packed-pixel 24bpp depths are only supported for 868/968 chips.
(--) SVGA: generic
(--) SVGA: videoram: 2048k
(--) SVGA: clocks 25.18
(**) SVGA: 24bpp not supported for this chipset
*** A configured device found, but display modes could not be resolved.***
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Xconnection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
I'm going to try to find how to change the pixel depth to 16bpp before I
send this off.
Later...
I logged on as root and then attempted XF86Setup which failed and then
ConfigXF86 which wasn't found. Are there distribution-specific
configuration tools for Debian?
