Diamond Speedstar A50

[Adam <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few weeks ago at the beginners meeting there was a Diamond A50 that
was having fits under X11.  We were unable to get it too work,  I later
posted a note to the list about it,  but having hacked up my LDAP
database it never got here.  So here it is again.

In the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, in the Device section there needs to
be the following options:

Option "no_accel"
Option "no_bitblt"

Another post said to have sw_cursor, noaccel, nolinear

And someone with an 8 Meg card says to use:

    option "no_accel"
    option "sw_cursor"
    option "no_bitblt"

And yet another (that seemed from the most knowledgable person) was:

      VideoRam 8192           (tested 2048 and 4096 also)
      Option "fast_vram"
      Option "pci_burst_on"
      Option "ext_eng_queue"
      Option "no_bitblt"
      Option "no_imageblt"
      Option "sw_cursor"

Just put these in /etc/X11/XF86Config after setting up for a A50
with Xconfigurator.  You can use vi or pico which ever you are most
comfortable with (pico is more like M$ editors)
