hello are installing slackware 8, and tries to configure the X. I run xf86config, but I doesn´t seem to work. The Card is a "S3 Trio64V2/DX" and should be supported by the Xfree. When I choose the right card in the database, it only loads the vga driver. when I run this card in windows it went up to 1024@16bits, so there is somthing wrong here.. So I need some help here.

you will have too edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file and set it up for your card, I believe your card uses the "s3" driver here check this page it lists which drivers for different S3 cards. I believe slackware8.0 uses xfree86-4.2, heres the xfree86 S3 driver page: http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status28.html#28 here is the part XF86Config you will have to edit for the video card driver: this is copied from mine # Device configured by xf86config: Section "Device" Identifier "ELSA Winner 2000PRO-4" Driver "savage" # unsupported card #VideoRam 16386 #Option "ELSA_w2000pro" # Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly # (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try # option "nomemaccess". # # Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page. # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate EndSection change the driver and the Identifier to your card and driver. Then to set the resolution to 1024@16bits you have to edit this part: # ********************************************************************** # Screen sections # ********************************************************************** # Any number of screen sections may be present. Each describes # the configuration of a single screen. A single specific screen section # may be specified from the X server command line with the "-screen" # option. Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "ELSA Winner 2000PRO-4" Monitor "KDS XF-70" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection As you can see I have mine running at 1024x768@24bits or depth I hope this helps
