Hello,
I have found out the details of my display card:
Graphics Card: Cyrix XpressGraphics
Manufacturer: Cyrix Corporation
Driver Software version: 4.10.01.1207
The video RAM is 2560 kB (note the extra zero). Earlier I had mentioned
this as 256 kB RAM - I'm sorry.
My CPU is Cyrix MediaGX MMX Enhanced 233 MHz.
While looking for help on google I found this:
http://www.exocore.com/linux/section.php?section=Xwindow#Xwindow_id7
Accordingly, I modified the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 as follows:
--------------------/etc/X11/XF86Config-4------------
<snip>
Section "Device"
# no known options
Identifier "Cyrix XpressGraphics"
Driver "cyrix"
VendorName "Cyrix Corporation"
BoardName "Generic VGA compatible"
VideoRam 2496
Chipset "mediagx"
#BusID
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Cyrix XpressGraphics"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 8
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600"
EndSubsection
EndSection
<snip>
-----------------------------------------------------
After this, when I typed "startx" at the command prompt,
the screen turned green and after a minute the monitor
got hung.
I think that I am nearly there and the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
file needs a final tweak to get X working. I know that there
are several Cyrix users on this mailing list. I'll be very
grateful if one of them could send me his/her relevant portion
of the XF86Config file.
Thank you.

A friend's machine (PCQ7.1) hangs mysteriously after an X crash. What
we found was this:
When running at a high resolution, there is insufficient memory to load
the direct rendering manager (drm), and the server runs properly.
When the resolution is lowered, there is more video memory available,
and hence the drm is loaded. In particular, the RENDER extension, which
is used for Anti Aliased fonts.
When drm is loaded, OpenGL programs crash X and the entire system. When
drm is not loaded, OpenGL programs run slowly.
Any ideas?
The card is Matrox Millenium with 8MB VRAM.

How can I know which glibc version has been installed on a linux
machine?
glibcbug script shows version of glibc but it is hard coded in the
script. Is there any other way?
