Re: Can u help?

[Indraneel Majumdar <indraneel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

probably you can get 800x600 @ 8bpp
(hresxvresxbytes_per_pixel <= vram)
putting an additional 1MB at Rs 250/- is recommended to get 16bpp
use xf86config to set up your card use SiS chipset type 205
AND check the archives for queries related to old hardware (always)

best wishes,
