I'm trying to get Linux Mandrake 6.1 to Run on an old 200 mhz system, when I go into setup under X Configuration it pci probes the card to be an Imagine 128v2 X server: I128, the monitor is an old At&t/NCR model #CDM4A3E, Since the monitor doesn't seem to exsist as hardware I have to try to config it manually and every time I try I fail horribley, any help would be appreciated
it gives several links to driver files. Download the driver files, and unzip them. In them, you will find files with the extention .inf You can open these in a text editor. there you will find the horizontal & vertical scan rates you for xconfig.
