Modules for VIA KM400 chipset

neomorph · 11-01-2004, 06:51 PM

I have a VIA KM400 chipset card. But the module is not loaded when i check in the hardware control (i use MandrakeLinux 10.0 CE)...How do I go about installing the modules for my video card so that I get the expected grap hic performance..?

Plugging in the pci id turns up the S3 UniChrome. Some googling is telling me that you'll need to upgrade your kernel, and your x packages. Here is a link to the driver man page for xfree 4.4.0.

http://www.xfree86.org/current/via.4.html

I believe, but am unsure, that you'll need at least kernel 2.6.8. Some googling should help with that decision.
good luck.
