Hi,
Problem : Windows gives an error message to the effect that "there is a problem with your display adapter - either the settings are incorrect or they are incompatible with your hardware".
Effect of problem - only 16 colors are displayed. Not the normal True Color (32 bit)
I've tried using an updated adapter driver, but that did not solve the problem. I've also upgraded from Win95 to Win98, but still no result.
Display Adapter :
-----------------
Make : S3 Savage with tv out, 8MB
Chipset : Unknown (chip face hidden by heatsink)
Serial Number : 9936015326AGP-S3SAVAGE-8M
Original driver version (from CDROM) : 4.11.01.4005-6.13.05
Other info : There's a butterfly picture on the sticker on one of the chips of the adapter
PC :
----
Processor : Pentium II-266 MHz
RAM : 64 MB SDRAM
OS : Win98
Mainboard : Legend-V (chipset Intel 440LX - 82443LX, 82371AB PIIX4)
Mainboard features : 66 MHz bus, supports PII-233,266,300 and 333 MHz processors
Monitor : AcerView 7154e
Previous Display Adapter :
--------------------------
Make : S3 Virge/GX2 with tv out, 4MB
Note : Worked well with Win95 (original driver) and Win98 (using updated driver)
Other Notes :
-------------
From Control Panel/System :
1. There is no resource conflict with other devices
2. The device is working properly
Questions :
===========
1. Is the display adapter not supported by the mainboard (the bus, the chipset) ?
2. If so, how can this problem be rectified ?
