Some manufacturers might not consider Linux for their products. In that case it takes the OSS world a while to develop and test the open source support. Once it is available it is then a separate question of how long it takes or if a distro includes it.
You've been pretty helpful. Much appreciated. I'll go away, see what I can come up with, and give some feedback here later. Kind Regards, aka boombaby.
If I could actually load a distro, it would only show a basic display. In the last few days I managed to get two other multi-installed distros Korora and Antix - both with only a basic display resolution to recognize the 4 built-in video modes. Xrandr showed I was running at x resolution. However the new problem on each was that the full desktop was HUGE, and I was only able to see on-screen and access the top left quadrant - on both distros. Yesterday - after lots of questions here and there, and considerable effort at the console - I managed to get a useful xorg.
Some window titles exhibited larger fonts. And so on. However, today the monitor wouldn't power up. It's dead! Very odd. I just get a solution to the resolutions then there's dissolution of the resolution. Is that strange - or just a coincidence? It came up straight away - even hi-res. No problems. Well not totally blank - a message-box from the monitor floats around the screen: "Input not supported".
So I try to boot into Korora. I removed the xorg. Same deal. I worry that somehow my Mageia-5 setup may now be compromised. I re-boot Mageia Works great!
So, what is going on? Why can I simply change a monitor and boot Mageia-5, but Antix and Korora just won't display? I want to know what linux procedure is typically used to install a replacement, alternate monitor into an existing distro system eg. Antix, Korora, etc. Something else? Posts: 2, Currently using the AGP card. Live-boot to x Anyone have a procedure for exchanging a monitor or other required device to an alternate one? If plug-n-play is supposed to work, this time it didn't except in Mageia Remember, if I was on a single-distro and re-attaching another monitor there would be no screen to work with.
So what would I do then to get a different monitor installed, and the distro back again? Since I tried re-jigging vesa on Antix I'll expand the experience a little bit here So I, as a Pnewbie Post-Newbie; silent"n"; copyright waived , finally reverted to my first attempt at configuring the xorg.
I am still happy with that"advice". In fact, the Xorg. In GUI I changed the res to x and got almost the whole desktop back in view as hi-res, yet xrandr still showed the 4 built-in modes - with main display set on x However it seemed odd ie TO ME. Of course, the supplementary question is:-"Is THAT an amazing coincidence and my lack-of-faith-in-vesa unjustified , or can"vesa" somehow kill a modern monitor?
Should I be concerned, given this Antix distro is code-named"Killah"? I would think that deleting the xorg.
I've never heard of a video card killing a monitor, with the possible exception of selecting refresh rates that your monitor doesn't support. When you set the resolution in the arandr gui the Set resolution in control center , did you generate a startup script and put that in your startup file? When you boot with the new monitor, do you ever have anything on the display ie, do you see boot text, bios information, etc As before, that got me back to a basic x display.
Then, while searching for a solution, I discovered that Antix has a"sisimedia" driver in the Modules directory. Maybe I put it there before, and never used it. Who knows! Then I also"accidentally" discovered that it works for the SiS graphics card! When I say"works" I mean that it works"so far".
Even better; it gives me resolution right up to x, or x That resolution is so fine and small that I can hardly read it. I've had to go down a few notches - and the result is still nice too. So, methinks that's a great resolution to the resolution! For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. You are using an out of date browser.

Ok so i'm after a really old driver, I need to get the S-video out, working on this, so far the most i've come up with is windows own drivers on xp but when using the S-video with and without vga i get as far as the windows xp loading screen with the black background and the blue loading bar.

EDIT: maybe the drivers of XP are outdated or doesn't activate all the features of your card, search and reinstall the driver with the latest one.
