It's also available in a VLB version for a little bit more. It works great: the display is clear, flicker-free, and fast at 1024x768 in 256 colors. I am using the following Xconfig file, which was posted to comp.os.linux by dskim@eng.umd.edu (Daeshik Kim). He uses it with the VLB version of the Fahrenheit and a NEC 3FGx monitor, but I've found that it works as-is with my card and monitor: bcr: I've added in some of the lines here, so a complete Xconfig-file bcr: is included. I've also edited away some of Mark's comments. ----> CUT HERE <---- RGBPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/rgb" # # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (which are concatenated together), # as well as specifying multiple comma-separated entries in one FontPath # command (or a combination of both methods) # FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" # FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" # # Uncomment this to cause a core dump at the spot where a signal is # received.
