here is the entry:
ctlr
0xC0060=" Diamond Computer Systems"
link=vga
hwgc=s3hwgc
ramdac=att20c490
link=s3clock
clock=icd2061a
ctlr=s3805
link=ibm8514
I hacked this entry together by looking at other entries and by doing some
guessing. As I said before, the ramdac is actually Diamond's SS2410, but
it is (somewhat) compatible with the att20c490.
when I start aux/vga it recognizes the card (i.e., it finds that string in RAM
but the display is funky. I get what looks like a split screen, and the top
half and bottom half are the same, with some other wierd stuff. It's hard to
describe, but in my experience these symptoms are evidence of a timing problem.
I've read the the order in entry is the order in which the init functions are
called. Maybe I should try reording them ?
thanks,
- Jesse
