I've always been happy with XF86, but decided to give Metro-X a try.
Metro-X refuses to run anything more than 8 bits at -any- resolution,
claiming that the @ MB of VRAM it finds is insufficient, even at a pitiful
800x600. I have a Diamond 64 Video VRAM with S3 968 and TO 3026 RAMDAC.
XFree works. Metro-X appears brain damaged.
So, is this a well-known Metro-X problem?
And where is all the documentation I expect from a "commercial"
X server? In contrast, XF86 has *superb* docs. I finally found where
Metro-X keeps its rather barren config file, but that wasn't very helpful.
Where are the docs? Where are the man pages?
I hope this doesn't sound too ranting -- I'm just surprised.
Pointers to a better forum kindly accepted.
Thanks,
Kyle Ferrio
