Re: [aclug-L] I740 based AGP card

[Isaias Izquierdo <ixisaias@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have that card and I am doing fine with RH 5.2. I had some problem but I solve
them. Make sure that you have the lastest version of: Xfree. You may also need 
to
download the XBF-i740 driver from Precision Insight or in Redhat.
http://www.precisioninsight.com/
You need two files one the driver and another the addition to xfree so that you
can see and select that driver.
i believe those driver are called:
XBF-i740-glibc-1_0_0-1_i386.rpm
and
xf86config-glibc-1_0_0_i386.tgz

There may be a newer version, I don't know. Mine work good with these.

P.D: It was a good learning experience doing by myself. It may be quite
frustrating but at the end it will have more satisfaction.

If your problem is configuring the resolution use xconf.
