These are the available options that I know of: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -epson |
| 29 |
-fbdev -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 (-impact) -imstt -intel -mach64 -mga |
| 30 |
-neomagic (-newport) -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage |
| 31 |
-siliconmotion -sis -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) |
| 32 |
(-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vesa -vga |
| 33 |
-via -vmware -voodoo" |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I would start with intel but I think i128 and i740 are Intel as well. |
| 36 |
You may want to enable vesa as a second option. Sort of a back up to |
| 37 |
intel and vesa. At least you will have some sort of driver while trying |
| 38 |
to get the best one working. |
