Xabre 200 Video Card & Xfree86


Having Problems with my ECS Xabre 200 AGP Video Card.
ECS Model AG200T8-D64

I am using Lycoris Update 1.4 that I believe is based on the 2.4 kernel.
Xfree86 4.4.0-213rl installed.

After looking over the Xfree86 documentation I determined that the Xabre 200 would be supported. However I cannot find a driver in the control panel of the Lycoris KDE based desktop.

Is there some way of downloading the proper driver from Xfree86 and installing it from the command line? I have done this before for another distribution (FreeBSD), but that was a few years ago and my don't remember how.

Hi
Take this with a pinch of salt.
I expected Slackware 9.1 (XFree) to auto config my card. It didn't.
Then installed Slackware 10 (with X.org). It did.
In my xorg.conf (your xf86config file, you should have something like device "sis".


Also see: http://www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisvga.shtml.
He is the maintainer/contributor of SiS driver for x.org.
it will give you detailed config for your SiS card.

bye
