I'm surprised. The IMS Twin Turbo cards work but not reliably n
accelerated mode. The answer is probably to manually edit the X
configuration file to put it back to a non accelerated mode. You should
try manually editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and changing the Device section
to something like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Driver "fbdev"
BusID "PCI:0:13:0"
EndSection
You should replace the "PCI:0:13:0" with values specific to your machine
that you can get from the cat /proc/pci command. For example, the cat
/proc/pci on my machine returns (I have an ATI video card):
Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RE (rev 0).
IRQ 23.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=8.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x84000000 [0x87ffffff].
I/O at 0x400 [0x4ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x80804000 [0x80807fff].
Take the values from the first line and substitute them for the 0:13:0 in
the BusID. You should then be able to get the IMSTT working albeit in
non-acclerated mode.
