Weird slow X4.0 Startup
Hi,
Ok, I had to take the nvidia card out of my wife's machine and put an old
S3ViRGe card in it's place. I setup X4.0 for it, and it does work fine,
but it takes several minutes to start.
Here's what happens in the log file. It gets up to:
(II) S3VIRGE(0): initializing int10
(II) S3VIRGE(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000
(II) S3VIRGE(0): VESA Bios detected
(--) S3VIRGE(0): Chipset: "virge dx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a
(II) Module ddc: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.0, module version = 1.0.0
Then it sits there for like 20 seconds and goes:
(II) S3VIRGE(0): VESA VBE DDC supported
...and THEN it waits around 2 minutes before going on:
Manufacturer: @@@ Model: 0 Serial#: 0 Year: 1990 Week: 0
EDID Version: 0.0
Analog Display Input, Input Voltage Level: 0.700/0.300 V
Sync:
Max H-Image Size [cm]: H-Size may change, V-Size may change
Gamma: 1.00
DPMS capabilities: ; Monochorome/GrayScale Display
... and so on, starting normally from that point.
The device section in XF86Config is:
Section "Device"
Identifier "S3V"
Driver "s3virge"
#VideoRam 4096
#Option "xaa_benchmark"
#Option "fifo_moderate"
#Option "pci_burst_on"
#Option "pci_retry"
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
Anyone have any ideas? I don't have any other version of X on this box to
test with.
