is there any driver for this vid card, all i found so far is a bunch of old faq's saying there is none, has that changed? right now i'm using the vesa driver but it won't go above 800x600 with it and i suspect i need the right driver to do that

this is the lspci output for the card

any help is welcome

Did you ever find a resolution with this vid card?

I have the same card and have surprisingly had Amigo Zip load drivers sucessfully. Looking through that distributions' config files and logs its hard to tell if the driver was generic vesa. The root user who created this distro used slackware. The boot settings listed may also include that initial computer

Apparently Chromatic Research has gone out of business and XFree86 doesn't plan to mantain drivers for this co.
I'm farely new to Linux yet having had Amigo running I'm willing to slog on.

Questions to continue this thread.
- Is there any way to load drivers from cd into Xserver?
- Are there other driver databases other than XFree86 which boot up KDE etc.
- Having upgraded to XFree 4.5.0 using the Xintall - does Red Hat 7.2 have to be reconfigured to recognize this change and thus recognize the vid card.
- Do I have to buy a new computer to experience Linux

since i never found anything and it sounds like there will never be anything, i suggest you just buy some cheap vid card to use or stick with the vga drivers

So I found in the Amigo config files that the vid card driver for 'chromatic research' was created by knoppix. Looking into knoppix I have since downloaded their live-distro and have now a running linux with a swap file in dos. Finally!! I'm presently trying to setup the distro in the Linux partition but there is no rush I'm happy with my quantum leap.
