Hi,
As the title says I installed Openstep 4.2 on a Satellite 4090XCDT. I've checked about video drivers compatibility and only found this :
http://markmail.org/message/kexmbg3lvmn5l5iuNote it says there "490XCDT", not 4090XCDT, don't know if it is a typo... or a different model. Anyway , I've tried the Diamond Stealth ViRGE driver and adding "0x8c015333" to the AutoDetect ID in expert mode , but it doesn't work. Stays in 640x480 greyscale.
Question is , should my Device ID be different on my model, and how to find it ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Sometimes just changing the AutodetectID in the configuration table is not enough. Some drivers do additional tests on the DeviceIDs when loading and you won't be able to tweak these as easily.
I see, Thanks Morgon.
But was wondering, is a device ID specifiic to a video card model ? Or is it different for every computer with the same vid card model ?
In that case do you know how to find the Device ID ?
Don't know if that can change anything, but anyway...

PCI IDs are listed by the NeXT on startup when you switch off the graphic boot screen (type a space and return at the boot prompt "boot:"). You can also look them up in "usr/adm/messages". The only problem is to find out which ID belongs to which device.

You might want to try the little known but very cool Openstep 4.2 VESA driver , it installs with the Y2K patch!
