I've got another AMD Athlon with integrated S3 graphics (detraying 32 MB from system RAM): [root@fae7901 rpms]# /sbin/lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] Fedora Installation reports that like "S3 ProSavage KM133" On Red Hat 8 (previous to Fedora Core 1 in that machine) I can only get framebuffer video, but it was solved as nearly I'll describe. Fedora seems to catch some sort of bug in XFRee86 4.3.0 for this video integrated and chipset. The solution for me was a forced install of the module "savage_drv.o" build on a similar system (perhaps another Fedora) from XFree86 sources modified by Tim Roberts (www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html). The 1.1.27t builded module works for me. If your system is similar (it's not guaranteed!), backup your /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/savage_drv.o and put the supplied, from a reinit on runlevel 3 (do 'telinit 3' as root, change driver and then 'telinit 5' to resume runlevel 5). You need some additional tunning on /etc/X11/XF86Config, as explained by Tim on http://probo.probo.com/pipermail/savage40/2003-July/000037.html I'm not a C programmer nor a Linux expert, only a fellow Red Hat Linux user...:-) Seems to be a problem related to XFree86 4.3.0 (as builded in Fedora but in another distros) closely related to S3 video chipsets. Disabling "useBIOS" was all I needed to see that marvellous distro (Fedora core 1) One machine upgraded, maybe tomorrow I'll upgrade the laptop.......:-) -- Saludos, Aurelio Sánchez fae7901 circling terra Spain fae7901 circling yahoo Spain Registered Linux User # 272846 GNU Privacy Guard Public Key available at pgp.rediris.es
