Re: S3 Problems

Hello,

Ok. I tried this setup

---
CHIP_CLASS=S3
CHIP_TYPE=86c765

ACCEL_CLASS=S3
ACCEL_TYPE=generic

CLK_CLASS=prog
CLK_TYPE=s3idac

DAC_CLASS=S3
DAC_TYPE=trio64

Now I get the nice effect, that the screen "jumps" up a few pages, just
linke I does when you press <Page-Up> a few times. When I hit
return, the screen scrolls down, but I never reach the line, where I
would see my prompt. I think it continues at the top (where it jumped
first) before it reaches the line with the prompt.
I think this is because I have a 86c764, but only 86c765 is supported.
It would be nice if anyone could code such a driver.

I think this came from insmod which is internationalized.

I think the problem is the 86c764 Chipset. Or am I wrong ?
