Post by thread:Leap Beyond W2K [OT]

Hi everyone, I've just installed RedHat Linux 6.1 side by side with Windoze98 SE, It work fine except for the fact that i can't run x-windows 'coz my card (S3 Trio 3D/2X) was not detected by linux. Now, do you know where i can get a driver for this card ? Also, do you know of a way to save a web page together with all its images and graphics, i'm using netscrape and i found it very inconvenient to individually save all the images in a certain page one by one... Sorry for this OT but you guys always delivers the goods.... Happy Y2K. Thanks All the best, Alan

I don't know about the card, but you should be able to set up X by either running Xconfigurator or xf86config. At the very least, you should be able to get X running with either the VGA or SVGA servers. You won't have any acceration though. Being as you have a linux installation now, try out the command 'wget'. It can be used to grab entire websites.

Surely that is not such a recent chipset as not to be included in 6.1. Did you try selecting it manually? As previously suggested in a reply, just try a manual configure for generic SVGA if you can't determine the exact driver. Mind you, there are some problems with "generic" drivers not working with the el-cheapo SiS 559x chipsets, bless 'em ):-(. -- Cheers, Paul B.

Numerous feline exterior removal techniques. % wget --mirror --recurse --no-parent http://quozl.us.netrek.org/ts/ Will fetch everything on that page and any images that are not in some other directory, and any other pages at that level, but will not explore upwards in the tree to get other stuff. Or use Netscape Communicator, view the page you want, select the option Edit Page from the menu, and all the inline images will be downloaded for you as well. -- James Cameron spam_OUTquozlTakeThisOuTus.netrek.org http://quozl.us.netrek.org/

For X stuff, you can check out http://www.xfee.org/ . I know my card (SiS 620) wasn't supported in the last release 3.3.3 but it now (3.3.4). Also, check out the various distribution sites (http://www.redhat.com/ http://www.debian.org/ http://www.suse.com/ ) for the latest information, patches, etc. BTW, there are several updates to RedHat 6.1 on Red Hat's site you may want to get (some dealing with security). {Original Message removed}
