I think I will because I have downloaded the technical papers from SIS, and I have a good idea of how the card works So how do I go about writing a howto - ie is there a specific format? > >Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] XF86Config Modelines > From: Philip S Tellis <philip.tellis(a)iname.com> > >Maybe you'd like to write this as a mini-Howto.

I'm sorry but my information was incorrect, I have checked and it is possible to specify modelines in the XF86Config BTW. A merry Christmas and a happy New year to one and all >AFAIK It is disallowed >First enable XAA, specify that you have only 4MB on your videocard >Turn on turboqueue and fast_vram and force the dacspeed to 175 you should see >a marked improvement in the cards performance. >If you are still having problems use XAAnopixmapcache option >it worked for me. >I will mail you the XF86Config file >>With X3.3.6 after tweaking modelines, I had a res of 1280x1024 24bpp with >>SIS6326 and samtel monitor. X4 gives a resolution of 1024 x 768 with bad >>displacements and "aspect ratio". >>So how do I specify the modeline or is it disallowed. >> >> >> >>_________________________________________________________ >>Do You Yahoo!? >>Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com >> >>_______________________________________________ >>http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers > >_______________________________________________ >http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
