Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Anyone with stable X windows using STB Velocity 128 AGP
I am using the latest XFree86 XSVGA server that includes support for the Nvidia Riva128 chip used in the Velocity 128, Viper V330, and ASUS 3D Explorer video cards.
One of my machines has a Velocity 128 AGP version and I am having difficulty getting a stable display. Using xf86config from SuSE, I have generated a XF86Config file. X starts up w/o any errors. However, the display is jittery e.g. the vertical lines of the window panes display a jerky motion in the horizontal plane. I have read thru the README file for the chipset and tried all the tricks mentioned there and even run it in un-accel mode. The problem does not go away. However, the display is fine under Win95:( Thus, I cannot blame it as a hardware problem.
On another machine, I have a Viper V330 PCI version. X works great on that machine.
Has anybody else experienced this problem with Velocity 128 or it's equivalent (see above) AGP version? If so, were you able to solve it and how?
Hi Arun Khan! I don't know anything about chipsets and videocards, but I'd suggets anyway to try to use xvidtune, and tune the modes of your X-DISPLAY. (resolutio modes that I choose by pressing <cntrl> + <alt> <+> and <cntrl> + <alt> <-> + and - on the numerix keypad-part(know what Imean?) this has to go to a certain file, ask me again. if you can't find it. it's somewhere near your XSVGA-server. arnulf -- know my poetry? - c...k - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Thanks to all those who replied. Just to recap, I had tried everything suggested in the README for the Riva 128 chip and also xvidtune before I posted to the list. I think it is a combination of the AGP Velocity card, the MB, and the X server. I took the AGP video card out and placed a PCI Viper v330 (same chipset) and the X display works fine. Xvidtune does not have the feature to add +- [hv]sync to the mode line interactively. This might help and but I am not counting on it too much. I would have tried it but the MB failed on me :( and am waiting for a replacement. Thanks again.
