I have recently installed gentoo. Everything works fine except that video
card will only display in a very low resolution. So I have these huge icons
and what not in gnome.
I have ran just about every X configuration tool out(xf86cfg, XFree86
configure, X -configure) there and the only one that lets my video card work
is xf86cfg
I know the card will work in higher resolutions because Red Hat ran with it
just fine.
It is a 3DLabs permedia2 with 8mb. I have posted my xf86config file below.
All suggestions are welcome I just want to get this card to work. :)
thanks,
Ben
