I have two of these cards - both 2.01 and 2.02 - and I find it very strange that when I try to run XFree86 on FreeBSD the driver does not detect the chip at all.

What is worse - the screensaver modules (which use VESA modes) complain that no suitable modes are found until I load a (very limited) VESA kernel module. It's almost as if the BIOS on the card just doesn't present itself right.

Anyone have any experience with this card in any other OS than DOS/Win3x/Win9x?

I have the card but never tested it with any other OS beside DOS/Windows. Is there any HDD/CD image to test it out?

Hello all, So I have recently acquired a Packard Bell 22CD, 486 DX2-66, which mostly works (can't seem to get the CD drive to register, but that's for another thread) and I purchased a few upgrades that I'm having some trouble getting working, one of which is the Diamond Speedstar 64 ISA.

I get no image when plugging this in and hooking up monitor. I can hear the hard drive spin up so it feels like the BIOS is posting as normal but it does not recognize the video card. What sort of things do I need to do to get this working from the BIOS? Do I need to re-flash the firmware or something? Any direction is appreciated!

EDIT: Per some other thread on this wonderful forum, I disabled the on-board video jumpers (after digging for a while to find a Close Enough schematic for the motherboard) and it just started working.

Here's the schematic in case anyone else with a PB finds themself here with a similar config: https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/P/P … D-CD-486SX.html
