[Gloucs] Mandrake 10 on Mac with virtual PC.

[Simon Porter]

I believe that Virtual PC emulates the S3-Trio 32/64 range of video cards. Have you tried adjusting the vertical/horizontal refresh rate and monitor classification through XF86Config?, it could be that X is having problems recognising the Powerbook display. 

If in doubt take a look at http://www.hk8.org/old_web/linux/run/ch10_05.htm

Simon

  Hello,

  I am trying install M 10 Community on Virtual PC 6 running under Mac OS X 10.3.3 on a Titanium Powerbook [1 Ghz.]
  Installation was smooth but configuration stalled on the specification of the video card. 
  Mandrake guesses that the VPC is emulating an S3 card but when X starts the display is distorted horizontally and the colours and interlacing are wrong.

  Does anybody know the correct X driver to use please?  In other words which video card does VPC emulate?

  Thank you for your help.
