I have a AHA3940UW scsi controller in my machine now. I also have a
Diamond Stealth VRam (3000 series) card. Since I put the 3940 in I can
not run X. THIS IS NOT AN X PROBLEM NO FLAMES PLEASE. It appears that
when I try to bring up X, it actively tries to map out the memory on the
video card (4megs) and within 30 seconds it locks the machine dead.
Adaptec says it's a problem with the video card. Diamond admits it's a
problem with the video card. They say there is a "bug" in the
framebuffering and if it can be "readjusted" it would solve the problem.
I don't know how many other people have had this problem and spent $$$
we don't have to buy new cards thinking the card is toast but I can't
afford to. Does anyone know who/how/where I should look about the
framebuffering and how trivial it is? Could this be a reccomended
patch? As I said, this might end up a really nasty problem for alot
more people that would be great.
Thanks for all the help.
For all who sent really nasty flames about not sending X problems
to linux-kernel READ THE ABOVE, IT WASN'T AN X PROBLEM!!!!
