S3 Problems

Hello,

I have a S3 Trio64 PCI Graphics Card with a 86C764 Chipset.
I'm using the 2.1.117 Kernel with fbsupport compiled in and
ggi-devel-980822. I tried to compile the driver with these options:

---
MON_CLASS=multisync
MON_TYPE=Iiyama-MT-9017T

CHIP_CLASS=IBM
CHIP_TYPE=vga

ACCEL_CLASS=S3
ACCEL_TYPE=generic

CLK_CLASS=fixed
CLK_TYPE=vga

DAC_CLASS=S3
DAC_TYPE=trio64
---

When I insmod the driver, I get this:

---
[root]/home/road/degas/kgicon/kgi/# insmod kgicon.o
IBM VGA chipset driver rev $Revision: 1.3 $
Detected 256KBytes of Video RAM
VGA clock driver rev $Revision: 1.1 $,  common code:$Revision: 1.2 $
generic.c:285: S3 accel driver loaded
IBM VGA driver loaded.
error: kgicon: Cannot find any usable video mode.
VGA clock driver unloaded
exit_kgi: Finished.
kgicon.o.errs: init_module: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt
----

"Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt" is german and means
device or resource busy. Why is it busy ? Lsmod reports nothing:

---
[root]/home/road/degas/kgicon/kgi/# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
---

Trying to use the "S3 86c765" chipset option doesn't
work also. Then the screen gets screwed up. The clock
drivers "s3sdac" and "s3idac" don't work with my Card
also. What can I do now ?

Bye, Lutz
