RH 6.1 - X server question

[Chuck Tewksbury]

good point Alexander...

I did check out xfree86.org... according to the web site, SVGA is indeed the
right server..

is anyone out there running an STB Velocity 4400 with something other than
the SVGA?

I wouldn't always be sure of that. RedHat continually selects the SVGA
server for cards that have much better servers to use, such as the Diamond
card I have that it always selects the SVGA when it should be using the SV3
or whatever that server is. They probably do this in the interest of
getting X running for anyone running anything, with the side effect of not
giving the best settings for your card.

I quit setting up X in initial installs. I just cancel it out, and then run
XF86Config or XF86Setup, and arm myself with the info on the card, chipset,
etc.

You might want to do some more web searching on your particular card.
