gathering info (video card)
In order to corectly configure X11 in linux I learned that I need to gather information about my video card and monitor. Upon several fusterating hours I managed to find a user manual for my monitor which is not made anymore. I also managed to gather information about my graphics card. Here is what I found:
Monitor:
Made by DEC (Digital equipment corportation) they merged with HP
Modle number: PCxBV-YA/YX
Multi-Mode include user mode and preset modes.
Horizontal sync rate: 30KHz to 66KHz
Verticle sync rate: 50Hz to 110Hz
Active area: 26.0cm x 19.0cm
15" or 14"
SVGA compatible
Video Card:
Manufacture: s3
Chipset: S3 ViRGE 325
Resolution(s): 640x480, 800x600 @24bpp , 1024x768 @16bpp
Max color depth: 24bpp
Memory: either 2MB or 4MB of SDRAM (to be confirmed)
I have found the web site for s3 www.s3.com and search all over the site for ViRGE 325 spesifications but found nothing, so as a result I dont know what my RAMDAC is.
Do I need to know the RAMDAC to be able to configure my monitor?
If so what would you sugest I do to find the RAMDAC spesification?
I have found billions of sites with information about S3 ViRGE 325 chipset but can't find my RAMDAC
