My Diamond Stealth II 220 seems to be work just fine in my two year
old download version of RedHat 6.0. But the full version of Slackware
8.0, that I just bought and installed, claims the card is
"unsupported"

Can I use transfer my video drivers from my old redhat cdrom to my new
slackware?

Thank you,

walte...@flashmail.com

BTW: disapointed with Slackware, so far.

I am using: Slackware 8.0, XFree86 4.1.0, Diamond Stealth II S220 with
Rendition Verite 2100 chipset.

The card was supported in earlier versions of XFree86, and the card is
supposed to supported in the current version.

But the xf86config utility keeps giving my the error message that the
card, and the chipset are unsupported. Then the XF86Config file
defaults to a straight up VGA installation - which is beyond awful.
Frankly, the resolution looks much lower than 640x480.

Doing a Ctrl_Alt_+ does not work.

Can I somehow trick the system into accepting the card? 

BTW: I am in the processes of sending my commercial version Slackware
8.0 back. Walnut Creek will not help me at all.

Also BTW: I see no advantage in getting the commercial version, over
the download version of slackware. No support, no worthwhile
documentation.
